The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m going to level with you – the next 16 days for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) are a tough watch. There’s a brutal stretch of flat, weak, and choppy conditions that’s gonna test your patience. We’re looking at a run of tiny, wind-affected surf from now right through to the 16th of August. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. But honestly, the first week is a write-off for a proper paddle. You’ll see a few mornings with light cross-onshore breezes, but the swell is barely there – under 2 ft with a short, weak 6-second period and combined energy readings in the teens (20–35). It’s those gentle cross-onshore ripples and choppy textures that’ll have you shaking your head.
There’s a bit of a pulse on the 17th and 18th of August, with the swell lifting to 4 ft from the WNW, but it’s still a short 7-second period and the wind is cross-on or onshore, killing any real quality. The combined energy hits 128–143 (moderate), so there’s some push, but it’s messy. After that, it drops straight back into the doldrums for the rest of the window. The real standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of the 17th of August. You’ll get a 4 ft WNW swell, and while the wind is still cross-on, it’s a gentle breeze, so it’ll be slightly less choppy than the afternoons. For a beginner-friendly spot, the size is manageable, but it’s not the clean, lined-up stuff we dream about. Honestly, this setup looks more like a good day for kite surfing than paddling, given the persistent onshore winds and small, short-period swell. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this bleak forever.
Rusty.
