The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a look at the charts for your local patch, and honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet spell for Palmachim – Htzinorot. The swell’s been pretty gutless for the first week and a half, mostly small, weak windswell in the 1ft to 3ft range, with that combined energy barely getting into double figures most days. Water’s sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the ocean feels like a bath.
The first real glimmer of a pulse arrives on the morning of Friday, August 14th. A short-period 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds, pushes the combined energy up to 135 (moderate). Winds are light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but at least it’s a sign of life. The size is still beginner-friendly, but the quality isn’t there yet.
The standout window, and the only one worth getting excited about, is the morning of Saturday, August 15th. The swell builds to 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 353 (moderate to strong). This is the biggest push of the whole outlook. It’s still a bit of a short-period swell, so it won’t have the grunt of a proper groundswell, but it’s a decent size. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW, which is not ideal, but it’s not ruining it either. Given the size, this is pushing into the “not for beginners” zone, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s the best you’re going to get.
After that, the swell slowly backs off through the 16th and 17th, dropping back to 3ft to 5ft, with the wind turning more onshore in the afternoons, which kills the quality. The Sunday the 16th morning is marginal, with a 5ft swell and light cross-shore wind, but it’s a gamble.
So, to be blunt, there’s heaps of flat days, then one decent morning on the 15th. If you can get out that Saturday morning, you’ll get the best waves of the run. The rest of the time, it’s a bit of a struggle.
