The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, to be blunt. There’s no proper swell to speak of, and the conditions are just messy.
We start off on Friday the 28th with tiny 1ft swell from the WNW and a weak period of 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and with a cross or onshore wind, it’s just not happening. Saturday the 29th nudges up a touch to 2ft, but the wind is still all wrong – cross and cross-on, making for lumpy, choppy water. You’d be fighting it more than surfing it.
Sunday the 30th has the biggest push of the entire outlook – a 4ft swell from the W with a 9-second period. The wave energy is moderate (225), but the wind is onshore and it’s showing as rain showers. The “poor surf conditions” tag tells you everything. That’s the peak, and it’s a letdown.
From there, it’s a slow, frustrating slide. Through the first week of September, the swell drops back to 1ft to 2ft. The wind does flip around a few times – there’s a glassy moment on Wednesday morning the 2nd, and again on Monday the 7th and Saturday the 12th. When it’s glassy, the surface will be clean, but with 1ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell, you’d be lucky to even catch a knee-high wave. The energy readings are in the single digits or low teens (e.g., 11, 43) – that’s about as weak as it gets.
Honestly, mate, through the entire 16 days, there isn’t a single moment that I’d call a standout. Everything is labelled “poor surf conditions.” The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 85°, which is nice for a paddle, but not for a surf. This is one of those blank runs where the Mediterranean just goes to sleep. It’s not unusual for this area when the summer pattern locks in. Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the forecast, but for now, leave the board at home.
