The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. The surf outlook for the next couple weeks is pretty grim, if I’m being honest. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the menu, with only one real window that might get your heart beating. From Monday the 14th all the way through Friday the 25th, it’s a wasteland. Tiny waves, mostly 1 to 3 feet, with short-period swell (5-7 seconds) and energy readings mostly below 50, which is weak. Mornings are often glassy, and that’s about the only positive – but there’s just no power to surf on. Afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore breezes, turning conditions bumpy and messy. Save yourself the paddle and just watch the tide come in.
Now, Saturday the 26th is where it gets interesting. The morning is looking clean and glassy – actually calm winds – and we get a bump in size to around 3 feet from the west-northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. Energy jumps into the moderate zone at 92, so there’s a little bit of life in the water. It’s still not epic, but for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya), this is your best bet. The swell direction is from the west, which is right in line with what this break likes. Just don’t expect much consistency. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Get on it early because the afternoon wind comes up from the northwest at 20 km/h and it’ll turn to chop.
Sunday the 27th sees a slight bump in size – around 3 feet – but the wind goes north, making a mess. Morning has 0.9m from the west-northwest, but it’s cross-onshore, and energy is at 119, which is moderate. It’s going to be a bit lumpy. The afternoon turns more cross-shore, size pushes to 1.0m from the north, but the period drops to 6 seconds and it gets choppy. Not a good combo for clean waves.
Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th are similar – moderate energy in the 30s to 50s, but the winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays small (2 to 3 feet) and short-period. It’s just not worth getting wet for.
So, mark your calendar for Saturday morning the 26th. That’s your standout. Glassy conditions, the biggest clean swell of the period, and the right direction. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy. This is a patience game. It’ll turn around eventually.
