The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. No sugar-coating it, the models are showing a pretty grim 16 days ahead. We're looking at a sustained period of flat, weak surf and messy winds across the whole run. Basically a write-off.
The spot we're watching is Al Gal. It's a consistent beginner wave, and the water's about 83°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. But that’s the only highlight. From now, Sunday the 19th, all the way through to the end of July, it's just "poor surf conditions" and scores of 0 out of 10. The swell is tiny, between about 1ft and 3ft, with short period slop and combined energy that barely registers a pulse, only just breaking 100 on the morning of the 25th.
Winds are the main problem – mostly cross-onshore or onshore at moderate speeds. We get a couple of glassy moments, like Monday the 20th morning, but with a wave of only 1ft and 16 energy, there's just nothing to surf. Clean conditions don't matter when there’s no swell to back them up.
Into early August, it’s the same story. Saturday the 1st shows a slightly more hopeful 3ft swell from the WNW with 91 energy, but it's still cross-onshore and messy. Sunday the 2nd morning is glassy, but the swell has dropped back to 2ft. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, which gets a "marginal" rating of 1/10 with a 3ft swell and 57 energy, but it's still cross-on.
For such a consistent break, this is a dead spell. There's a real gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling for. Leave the board in the car and don't waste the gas. The forecasts will flip eventually, they always do.

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.
Al Gal is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Bat Yam. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bat Yam. Bat Yam has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
