The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking flat as a tack for the Nahum Sokolow stretch in Nahariya. We’ve got a lot of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes messing things up. If you’re hanging for a wave, you’ll be waiting a while, because there’s nothing on the menu that’ll get the heart racing. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a surprise, but it’s about the only thing that’s not disappointing.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 4th has a knee-high 1ft of west-northwest windswell with a short 5-second period, and the cross-shore breeze is making it messy. The combined energy is a weak 5. Saturday the 5th isn’t any better, just 2ft and still poor. Sunday the 6th bumps up to 2ft, but the wind swings onshore and it’s just a choppy mess – that’s 51 on the energy scale, still weak. Monday morning the 7th has a moment of glass – 2ft and clean – but it’s too tiny to bother with. The same story plays out all week: little pulses of 1ft to 2ft, with the best conditions coming on the glassy mornings of the 7th, 8th, 13th, and 14th, but even then you’re looking at maybe a longboard or a foamie and a whole lot of paddling for nothing. The swell period is mostly short, around 5 to 8 seconds, so there’s no power behind any of it.
Looking further out, into the second week, it doesn’t get any better. The swell just fades away. By the 18th and 19th of September, we’re down to 0.7ft. There are no standouts here, folks. This is a proper flat spell. Given how consistent this break usually is, it’s a bit of a shock, but sometimes the ocean just takes a breather. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the region, so don’t go selling your board just yet. The forecasts can change, and there’s always hope. But for now, save the drive and find something else to do.
Rusty.
