The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Nahariya. Gotta be straight with you – we’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and mushy, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
We start off on Sunday the 9th of August with a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a short period 6-second windswell with a straight onshore wind. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 84°, but the combined energy is a weak 42 – not exactly gonna get the heart pumping. From there, we settle into a real lull. From Monday the 10th right through the morning of Monday the 17th, it’s a total washout. Swell heights barely scrape 2ft, period is short, and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore most days. You’ll be staring at a glassy, rippled mess. The combined energy readings are mostly in the teens, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” for every single slot. No surf on offer here for over a week.
Now, around Monday the 17th of August in the afternoon, we see a slight pulse. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 82 – still weak, but it’s something. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s a bit messy but not totally blown out. Tuesday the 18th holds similar 3ft lumps with a 7-second period, and the energy hits 91 on Tuesday afternoon. Still, the wind is cross-onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not going to be a clean, lined-up wave. The best I can say is that for a beginner looking to get wet, this might be the least bad window. The break is Nahum Sokolow, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent. It’s exposed to the W, which is what we’re getting. No standout in this entire run.
After that pulse, we fade back to tiny 1ft to 2ft dribble through the rest of the period. We get a little glassy moment on the morning of Friday the 21st of August with a 2ft, 6-second swell and glassy wind, but the energy is still only 27 – it’s just a small, weak wave. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but for a 2ft wave, it’s not worth the argument.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The whole 16 days is a long, flat run. But keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and things can change. For now, the best bet is the afternoon of the 17th and the 18th if you’re desperate for a splash, but don’t expect any quality.
Rusty.
