The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the Al Gal area.
You’re looking at a flat start. For the first week and a bit, it’s all tiny, weak swell—periods barely hitting 7 seconds—and cross-onshore winds messing up the surface. The combined energy of all swells is in the low double digits (13) on the 25th, and it just doesn’t get any real steam for a while. It’s a pretty ordinary run for anyone wanting a proper paddle.
The first real standout comes on September 6th, Sunday. In the morning you’ve got a 6 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 385 (moderate). Winds are light cross-onshore, so a little bumpy, but the size is there. By the afternoon it’s 7 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and the combined energy hits 701 (strong). That’s proper power, even if the wind is still a touch cross-onshore. This is the pulse to watch.
Al Gal is an exposed, consistent break, so it’ll pick up that WNW swell. The water temp is about 85°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year. On Monday the 7th, the swell drops to 3 ft, but the wind goes glassy—zero wind from the ENE—and the energy is still moderate at 160. Clean, small, and fun.
Expect some company—crowds are often around when there’s a decent swell, and this spot is consistent enough to pull people in.
So, the first week is a dud, but that Sunday-to-Monday window on September 6th and 7th is your best shot at something worth the drive.

Information about the Al Gal Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Al Gal provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Al Gal can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Al Gal surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Al Gal) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Al Gal may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
