The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for the coming weeks.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle. There just isn’t a good surf option on the table. The entire run is a flat, choppy, or just plain messy blank. The wave energy is so weak it’s barely registering, and the wind is usually on it or cross-shore. It’s a tough stretch.
We’re looking at Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) here, and it’s a real drought. Sunday the 23rd of August kicks off with tiny swell at 2 ft from the WNW and a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is a cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’s just choppy. The combined energy is a measly 22. That’s a hard pass.
Monday the 24th through to the end of August, the swell stays tiny, between 1 ft and 2 ft, with periods stuck under 9 seconds. The wind is a mixed bag of cross-onshore or onshore, creating ripples or chop. They do have a couple of glassy windows on the morning of Tuesday the 25th and again on Sunday the 30th, but with only 2 ft of swell and a combined energy of just 17 and 33 respectively, it’s barely a ripple. The sets would be few and far between.
Then from the 31st of August right through to the 7th of September, it’s more of the same, or worse. Swell drops to 0.7 ft to 2 ft, periods are short, and the energy collapses into single digits. The morning of the 7th of September sees a slight bump to 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy finally hits 119 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’s just going to be a messy, blown-out little wave. Not worth paddling out for.
The water temp is about average for this time of year. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot like this, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s a waiting game, and the forecasts can change, but for now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
