The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this stretch for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). It’s a tough one – the whole 16-day window is looking like a bust, with nothing but poor surf conditions across every session. We’re staring down a long, flat spell, and there’s not a single standout day to get excited about.
The first week is a total washout. From Tuesday 28 July through Sunday 2 August, the swell is tiny, running 1.0 ft to 2 ft, mostly out of the WNW or W. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing 6 to 16 mph, putting a chop on anything that might have been rideable. The combined energy of all swells is weak, sitting in the low teens to high 30s – no push at all. The swell period is short, 5 to 8 seconds, so there’s no shape or power. This is a beginner break, and even a beginner would be fighting a losing battle.
Into the second week, from 3 August to 12 August, it’s more of the same. Swell heights barely get up to 3 ft to 3 ft at best, but the wind stays stubbornly onshore or cross-onshore for most afternoons, with moderate breezes making it choppy. The combined energy does nudge up into the 70s and 80s on a couple of mornings, like Wednesday 5 August morning (51) and Friday 7 August morning (86), but it’s still weak. The swell direction stays WNW, which is the optimum for this spot, but the poor quality and messy wind ruin it. There’s a tiny glimmer on Saturday 8 August morning when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2 ft with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 21 – barely a ripple.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Bottom line: this is a blank run. For this area, a stretch like this isn’t unusual when the conditions just don’t align. There’s nothing to chase. If you’re really itching to get wet, that glassy morning on 8 August might give you a flat paddle, but don’t expect waves. Leave the board for now and check back – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
