Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the Nahariya stretch.
To be straight up with you, this is a pretty quiet run. Over the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a whole lot of not much. The swell is small and the conditions are just not cooperating for a decent paddle. There’s a gap right from the start, with no surf worth recommending for the first several days. The first chance at anything barely worth a mention doesn't show until around Wednesday the 23rd, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The best of a very average bunch falls on Thursday the 23rd of July at Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). The morning has the best chance, with a small 3ft swell out of the west-northwest, a weak period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy is still low, sitting at 94, so no power behind it. The wind is a light cross-shore, which will keep things from getting too chopped up, but don’t expect any real shape. The water is sitting at 82° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, just patience.
Honestly, from the 12th right through to the 27th, every session is marked as poor. The swell never gets above 3ft, the period is short, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for most of it. There’s no standout, no real clean window. The only moment of glass you see is on the morning of Saturday the 25th, but with a 1ft WNW swell at 6 seconds and combined energy of just 21, you’d be bobbing around on a lake. It’s a no-go.
Take the long view here: a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area in summer. It’s flat and it’s frustrating, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the horizon.
Rusty.
