The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Nahariya is a tough one. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands, with barely a wave worth paddling for. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up until Sunday, 20 September, which means we’re looking at a dry gap of about two weeks. After that, the swell finally shows a pulse, but conditions are still far from perfect.
Alright, the one and only standout in this whole run is Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya), and it’s a bit of a long shot. On Sunday, 20 September, we get a jump in swell energy—combined energy climbing to (192) in the morning, moderate energy for sure. Swell is coming from the WNW at 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and lacks that long-range grunt. Wind is light from the SSW in the morning, which is cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy, but with only a light breeze it stays rideable. By the afternoon, it switches onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so the morning window is your best bet.
Water temp is sitting at 85°F, with an anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than you’d expect for early autumn—nice for long sessions in boardies.
Now, the catch: this break is rated beginner-friendly and fairly consistent, but crowds are listed as *sometimes*—so you might have a few locals out, but nothing crazy. The swell direction (WNW) matches the optimum direction from W, so it’s lining up okay. But honestly, with such small swell and a short period, it’s not going to be a classic day. It’s more of a “get wet and enjoy the warm water” session than a standout.
The rest of the window is a write-off. From now right through until 19 September, we’ve got tiny waves—0.7ft to 3ft—mostly with onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and the combined energy barely hits double digits most days. A few mornings on 7, 8, and 13 September go glassy, but with only 1ft to 2ft on offer, you’re just floating around. Not worth the paddle.
Even the afternoon of 20 September drops back to (159) with onshore wind. So if you’re keen, make it a dawn patrol on the 20th. Otherwise, this stretch is a flat, frustrating wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s quiet.
Rusty.
