The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s going on for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a flat, frustrating grind. We’re talking about a solid run of days where you’d be better off doing just about anything else. From Tuesday the 11th of August right through to Tuesday the 26th of August, the surf is consistently poor. There are no gaps with recommendations because there simply aren't any real waves to chase.
The water here is sitting at 84°F and that’s a touch warmer than what we’d usually expect for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice dip if you’re just going for a swim.
The swell never gets its act together. We’re looking at tiny little 1ft to 3ft waves coming mostly out of the WNW, with short, weak periods between 4 and 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is laughable – mostly two-digit values like 12 or 28, with the highest we see being a measly 79. That’s just not enough grunt to push any kind of decent wave.
And the wind? It’s a mess. It’s almost always cross-on or onshore, from the NNW, W, or NW, and often bumpy. A few mornings you might get a light breeze, but it’s usually from the wrong direction to clean things up. The wave comment on every single entry is "poor surf conditions," and the score is zero across the board. That’s a brutal read.
If you’re desperate, maybe the morning of Monday the 17th of August offers a slight tease – a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 7-second period and light cross-onshore wind. But even then, the combined energy is only 79, and it’s still listed as poor. No standouts here, folks. For an exposed beach setup like this, you need a proper groundswell and clean offshore wind, and we’re getting neither.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer if the wind picks up, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass. We just have to wait for the next system to roll in.
Rusty.
