The Lowdown

Gutted, folks. I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a tough one to write up. The short version is, there’s basically nothing on the cards that’s going to get you frothing, and there’s a big empty gap where we’d normally see some pulses.

Right now, and for the foreseeable next week and a half or so, it’s flat. Not “small,” not “fading,” but proper flat. We’re talking ankle-biters in the 1ft to 2ft range, with weak energy readings mostly in the single digits to low twenties. The swell direction is all over the shop, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no power in it. We’ve got a long stretch here where nothing is surfable until around the 28th of August, at the earliest. That’s a solid ten-day dead spell.

The one spot we’re looking at is Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, but it’s been the definition of lackluster. The water’s been warm, about 85°, and the anomaly suggests it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only thing getting any kind of buzz.

There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of the 29th of August. We get a weak pulse of WNW swell, pushing 3ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is still pathetic, reading 116, but the wind is the kicker. A light SSW cross-offshore breeze will have it clean, glassy in the lineup. It’s the only period in the whole run with a clean look. But honestly, at 3ft and that short period, it’s going to be mushy, gutless, and only really for the longboard or a beginner who just wants to get wet. It’s not a standout—it’s just the least terrible option.

A day earlier, on the 28th, the swell is slightly bigger, 3ft, but the wind is onshore and choppy, so forget that.

For the rest of the second week, we’re back to that sub-3ft nothingness.

Honestly, if I had to sum it up, this is a period where the kites are going to get more use than the surfboards. The wind's going to be blowing, but the surf’s not. For the first ten days or so, it’s a total blank. When that little clean window shows up on the 29th morning, it’s promising but you’re not going to want to cancel plans for it. Keep the board in the car, but maybe bring a book.

Rusty.
