The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us. Straight up, it’s a bit of a quiet spell we’re walking into. The surf options are scarce, and honestly, for most of this 16-day window, the ocean is going to be pretty flat and uninviting. There’s no big swell on the horizon, just some tiny, weak pulses. We’ve got a long gap of days with no real recommendations, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first little glimmer – and I mean *little* – shows up on Tuesday morning, September 1st down at Papaya (Nahriya). We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW. But here’s the thing: the wind flips to a glass state, which is a major positive for a clean surface. The wave energy is weak at 57, so you’re not going to be doing much more than getting a few wobbly knee-high rides. It’s a beginner spot, fairly consistent, and the offshore direction is ideal from the W, so it lines up okay. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Don't expect much – it’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the only real standout in the first week, and it’s a tame one.
There’s another tiny blip on the radar on Monday morning, September 7th. Again at Papaya (Nahriya), we’ve got another glassy morning with a weak 2ft WNW swell, wave energy at 40. Same story – tiny, clean, but nothing to write home about. Between the 1st and the 7th, and then again after the 7th, there are long gaps where the ocean just goes to sleep, with wave height dropping below 2ft and energy dropping into the single digits.
Honestly, for any solid surfing, this forecast is a dud. The combined energy is weak for the entire period, peaking at just 268 on Sunday morning August 30th, but that’s ruined by cross-on wind and a poor surf quality rating. There’s no standout wave of any consequence. If you’re desperate for a splash, the only real options are those two glassy mornings on September 1st and September 7th when the wind gives you a clean window, but the swell won't give you much else.
