The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and weak. If you’re itching to get wet, you’re going to be doing a lot of waiting. There’s no real swell on the horizon, and we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves.
The only real pulse of energy we see is around Tuesday the 18th and into Wednesday the 19th. Even then, it’s not huge, but it’s the most we’ve got. We’re looking at waves around 3ft on the Tuesday, coming from the WNW. The period is short, only 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit jumbled. The energy reading climbs to 111, which is the highest we see in the whole outlook. It’s better than nothing, but the wind is going to be a factor. Mornings are looking light with a cross-onshore breeze, but it’s the afternoons that will get messy with a moderate onshore flow. This is a beginner-friendly size, but the quality will be marginal. It’s a ‘maybe’ session, not a ‘must-do’.
For the most part, this stretch is a write-off. The surf is under 3ft for nearly the entire time, with most days seeing just 1ft to 3ft of weak, short-period swell. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so the surface will be chopped up. There are a couple of glassy mornings in there, like the 14th and the 20th, but there’s just no power behind the waves to make it worth your while. You’d be fighting for ankle-biters.
The water temp at Al Gal is 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s not a huge jump, just a little bit more of a bath.
So, to sum it up: This isn't a good outlook if you're looking for quality surf. You've got a long gap of nothing until mid-week next week, and even then it's not setting the world on fire. It’s a good time to check your gear, maybe do some maintenance, and wait for the next pulse.

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.
