Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this next couple of weeks is a tough stretch for surf around here. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no real reason to paddle out.
Right from the start on Saturday July 4th, it's a no-go. Papaya (Nahriya) is seeing a weak 3 ft swell out of the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is only 55 (weak), and the water’s sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But that’s about the only notable thing.
That pattern pretty much holds through the whole forecast. Swell stays small—mostly between 1 ft and 4 ft—and the period rarely gets over 8 seconds. That’s windswell junk, not the kind of stuff that’ll give you a proper wave. The wind is nearly always cross-on or onshore, so even the tiny bumps are chopped up. A few mornings might have lighter wind, like that Friday July 10th morning with a light 6 mph cross-shore, but the swell is only 3 ft and the energy is just 67. By Saturday July 11th, we’re down to 2 ft and even less.
There’s a gap of over two weeks here with no surf worth recommending. None of these days crack a score that would get me excited. The wave comment on every single time slot says “poor surf conditions.” That’s the whole story.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5 ft so it’s not dangerous, but it’s also not worth the drive. For anyone else, leave the board at home. Honestly, with the small, weak swell and persistent onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for long—forecasts can change, and we might see something better further out. But for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
