The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a flat spell. The forecast is pretty much a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. There's a consistent pattern of small, short-period swell from the west-northwest, but the energy is just not there to get anything going. We're looking at a solid run of days with no real surf on offer, stretching from now through the end of August and into the start of September.
The water temperature at Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water will be nice for a swim.
The only time the swell shows any real pulse of energy is on the 31st of August, specifically Monday morning. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 130, which is moderate, with a 3 ft swell from the west-northwest and an 8-second period. The wind is light from the southwest, making it a light cross-onshore breeze. It's far from perfect, but it's the only time in the entire forecast that the swell height breaks the 3 ft mark. Even then, the wave comment says "poor surf conditions," so it's not a standout by any means. The afternoon of the 29th of August also offers a 3 ft swell from the west with a bit more energy (66), and the wind is onshore from the west-northwest, but it's all still pretty small and weak.
Honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for here. The few days with any swell energy are still plagued by poor conditions. If you're desperate, the 31st of August morning might offer the most rideable waves, but keep your expectations on the floor. Otherwise, it's a blank run for the area and a good time to get the gear sorted.
