The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Well, the long-range is looking pretty grim for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than you'd expect for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock to the system.
Honestly, don't bother checking the surf for the next couple of weeks. The finder file shows a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak, short-period swell. The swell energy is almost all in the low double digits, like 20 (weak energy), so there's just no power in the water. We get a bit of a tease on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August, with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a bump to 3ft of W-NW swell, but the period is still only 8 seconds, so it's very ordinary. The energy does climb to 158 (moderate energy) on the morning of Sunday the 30th, with a 3ft W-NW swell, but the wind is straight onshore, so it's a write-off.
The only real flashes of hope are the glassy mornings on Tuesday the 1st of September and Sunday the 6th of September, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and 2ft respectively, with a short period. It's just not enough to get excited about. The whole setup is poor for paddling, and with the onshore winds, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than anything else. This is a long stretch of very ordinary, small surf, so don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
