The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The surf just isn't there. This is one of those stretches where you might be better off dusting off the kite or just enjoying the beach. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 3°F above the norm, which is nice, but it’s not enough to save the waves.
We’re looking at a solid gap of flat, blown-out conditions for the first stretch. Honestly, there’s nothing surfable from Tuesday the 11th all the way through the weekend. The swell is tiny, barely cracking 2ft, and it’s coming in short and weak, with periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The energy is pathetic, sitting in the low double digits, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, chopping up whatever dribble tries to show. The early mornings on the 14th and 15th might clean up a bit with a light cross-offshore breeze, but there’s just no push behind it. You’d be surfing whitewash on a log.
We finally see a little bump of energy early in the second week, around Monday the 17th. The swell kicks up to around 4ft, and the energy jumps. But it’s still short-period, 7 seconds, and it’s a bit of a mess. The morning has a light cross-onshore, and the afternoon is straight onshore. It’s not going to be good, just slightly less terrible. The wind stays messy through the 18th and 19th, and the swell fades back down to nothing again, dropping to 2ft and under.
There is one small glimmer, and it’s a long way out. On Sunday the 23rd, the swell tries to build again. We’re looking at about 3ft to 3ft, with the energy climbing. It’s still short period, around 8 seconds, but the wind is a bit more variable. The morning has a gentle cross-shore, and the whole thing looks cleaner than anything else on offer. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it might be the least bad option for someone desperate for a few knee-high sliders at Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). That westerly swell direction is right in its wheelhouse, but keep your expectations low.
Honestly, with the swell this small and weak, and the wind this messy, this is a blank run. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this flat spell is unusual, but it happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding other things to do.
If you’re absolutely jonesing, keep an eye on that 23rd. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out and things can change. Other than that, it’s a time for patience.
Rusty.
