The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a stretch of days ahead, but I’ve got to be honest with you right up front – the surf is not playing ball. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent waves. There’s a massive gap from the start right through to the very end with no real surf on offer. You’re looking at a long, dry spell.
Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) – this is the only spot showing any data, and it’s grim. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 3° above average. Nothing to get excited about when the waves are this flat.
The pattern is a constant run of tiny, wind-affected slop. From Tuesday, July 21st, through to Wednesday, August 5th, the swell height barely gets above 3 ft, and most of the time it’s below that. The swell period is short – between 5 and 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, wind-driven chop with no real energy. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 14 (single digits) to 85 (two digits), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is nearly always cross-on or onshore, from the W, WSW, or NW, messing up whatever tiny bump is there. The wave comment for every single session is “poor surf conditions.”
The only notable blip is on the morning of Saturday, July 25th, where the swell pushes up to about 5 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 318 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-on 9 mph from the SW, so it’s a messy, choppy 5 ft. Not worth paddling out for. For a beginner spot, anything over 5 ft can be too much, and with the chop, it’s just ugly. The rest of the week is a trickle of 2 ft to 3 ft, consistently poor.
This is a classic case of an area that can go through a pretty blank run, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. The forecasts might change, but for now, keep the boards in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
