The Lowdown
Right, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). I’ll be straight with you – this is the quietest stretch I’ve seen in a while. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The first week and a half is a write-off. From Saturday the 18th right through to Friday the 24th, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves, mostly under 2 ft, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore, making it a choppy, bumpy mess. The combined energy is barely a whisper, below 100 for most of that time. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Then we get a tiny flicker of life on Saturday the 25th. The morning shows a bit of a pulse – 5 ft of swell coming from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 232 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-shore, which should keep things a touch cleaner. It’s still a beach break, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit fat and soft, but for a beginner spot, it’s the only game in town. The afternoon gets messier as the wind swings onshore, so don’t sleep in.
After that, it’s back to a flat, wind-affected mess for the rest of the month and into the start of August. The swell drops back to 1 ft to 2 ft, the energy is pitiful, and the wind is either onshore or cross-on. There’s nothing else on the cards worth mentioning.
So, the one standout is the morning of Saturday the 25th. It’s not going to be a world-class session, but for a beginner-friendly wave with a clean-ish wind, it’s the best on offer. Don’t expect much else.
Rusty.
