The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. This one’s a tough pill to swallow for the Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) stretch. The truth is, the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for any decent waves. I’m not seeing any proper swells lining up, and most of the time the wind is going to mess things up anyway.
The water is sitting at a warm 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle will be comfortable, but that’s about the only good news.
We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead. From the start on Tuesday, 4 August, right through to the end on Wednesday, 19 August, it’s all small, weak, and messy. The swell heights barely get above 3 ft, with periods mostly between 5 and 9 seconds, so it’s all short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy figures are all under 100, hitting mostly between 14 and 83, which is the weak stuff. And the wind? It’s cross-on, onshore, or just plain choppy for the entire forecast. There’s no clean, offshore, or glassy session to get excited about. Every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions."
The best of a bad bunch is probably the Sunday morning, 16 August, or the Tuesday morning, 18 August, with a tiny 3 ft swell from the WNW, but even then, the wind is cross-on or cross, and the quality is just not there. It’s not going to be worth the paddle out, unless you’re just desperate for a float.
For a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break like this, the lack of any decent swell and the constant poor wind means it’s a complete write-off. If you’re into kite surfing, the cross-onshore winds might give you something to play with, but for a traditional surf, save your energy.
This is a blank run, and for this area, it’s not uncommon to have stretches like this. Don’t lose hope, though – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
