The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak outlook for Al Gal over this next stretch. We’re looking at a long, long dry spell with very little to get excited about.
The water is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave that’s just not coming.
For the next week and a half, it’s basically a write-off. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to Saturday the 1st of August, the data is just screaming “poor surf conditions” every single session. We’ve got a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the swell is tiny and weak. The waves are there but they’re rubbish – short period windswell with weak energy, often under 100 (28 to 87). Not a single wave worth paddling for.
We do get a little bump in size on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with the swell hitting 6ft and 5ft, and the energy ramping up to 394. But the wind is still a problem, blowing cross-onshore or straight on, so it’s just messy and choppy. If you’re a kite surfer, that SW wind on Saturday morning and the building swell might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer it’s a hard pass.
Now, there’s a tiny glimmer right at the end. On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, we finally get a glassy session. The wind drops to a slight air from the SW, and the waves, while still small at 2ft from the WNW, are at least clean. The energy is still weak at 48, but the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s the best of a bad bunch. That same setup repeats on Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August in the mornings – glassy, 2ft to 3ft, with a bit more energy (62). If you are desperate for a slide, those early mornings at the very end of the period are your only real shot. The swell direction is WNW, which is fine for this exposed spot.
Don't get your hopes up, but sometimes you just have to take what you’re given. The standouts here are those final mornings on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of August when the wind goes glassy; otherwise, this is a long, frustrating wait.
Rusty.

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.
