The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ll be honest with you straight up: Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) is going through a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 85°F which is much warmer than normal – over 4°F above what you’d expect this time of year – so the sea feels more like a bath than a surf zone.
First up, we’ve only got tiny, weak swell running for days. From Friday the 11th right through to Wednesday the 16th of September, the waves barely push past 1ft, with periods as short as 5 to 6 seconds. Energy is flat – we’re talking values like 12, 11, and 10 (weak energy). Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and often moderate to fresh, keeping things choppy. The morning of Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th offer brief glassy conditions, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. It’s not really worth suiting up for, unless you just want to float.
Then we hit a change around Thursday the 17th of September into Friday the 18th. The swell nudges up to 3ft and then 4ft, and the period stretches to 7–8 seconds – still short but better. Combined energy climbs into the moderate zone, with values hitting 64, then 108 and 128. That’s the biggest energy of the whole forecast. Wind on the Friday morning is a light cross-shore from the SSW, which is interesting. But the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions,” so don't get carried away. It’s still small, short-period stuff.
After that, it drops right back down. From Saturday the 19th of September through to the end of the forecast, we’re back to tiny 1ft to 3ft waves, wind often cross-onshore or onshore, and the energy sinks back to weak. The whole run is really just a gap of poor surf, with no standout days. If you’re a beginner and just want to mess around in small, cleanish conditions, the glassy mornings on the 13th and 14th are your best bet, but don’t expect any juice. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now this stretch looks like a write-off for traditional surfing.
Rusty.
