Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next 16 days for the Nahariya stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. We're starting with a whole lot of nothing. The first few days are just flat to tiny, with the wind all over the place and a "poor surf conditions" call on every single session. It’s a real dry spell to kick things off.

The only spot we've got to look at is Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°.

Now, let's get into it. The first week is basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, rarely cracking 2 ft, and the period is short, around 6 seconds. There's no real energy in the water – the combined energy stays in the low double digits, weak stuff. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There's a moment on the morning of Monday, 5th August, where the wind goes glassy, but with only 2 ft of weak, short-period swell, it's still just a flat, glassy lake. Not worth paddling out for.

The pattern continues straight through the first week and into the second. The swell just doesn't get its act together. We see a few minor bumps, like the afternoon of Friday, 14th August, with the swell hitting 3 ft from the WNW and the combined energy climbing to 56 – still weak, but at least it's something. The wind is still a problem, though, mostly cross-onshore and choppy.

Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The swell is just too small and weak, and the wind is rarely on our side. The consistent “poor surf conditions” label tells the whole story. The best we can hope for is a bit of a cleanup on the morning of Monday, 17th August, with a 3 ft swell from the WNW and a combined energy of 50, but a moderate onshore breeze will likely spoil it. This is a spot where a blank run like this is just part of the deal sometimes.

Keep your eye on the charts, but for now, the board stays in the car.

Rusty.
