The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Al Gal is serving up in the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I have to be straight with you: this is a pretty lean 16-day forecast. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions and low-energy surf. The water is sitting at a warm 84°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's got any heat.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes on Saturday the 26th of July, but honestly, it's not worth the effort. We're looking at a weak 3-foot swell from the NW with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy is a paltry 67—barely a wrinkle. The wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy.
We actually get a small, fleeting moment of hope on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning session looks glassy with a light breeze from the SW, a tiny 2-foot NW swell running on a 6-second period, and the combined energy is at a weak 43. It's surfable but very ordinary. The glassy conditions are a major positive for cleanliness, but the wave height is tiny. This is really the only standout, and it's a very modest one. For a true beginner, this might be a fun little morning, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, it's frustratingly small.
After that Tuesday morning, the pattern falls apart again. The rest of the forecast is dominated by onshore and cross-onshore winds from the NW and WNW, constantly messing up what little swell exists. Wave heights hover around 1 feet to 3 feet, with combined energy readings rarely cracking 100. We get a few more glassy mornings—Thursday the 30th of July, Saturday the 1st of August, and Monday the 3rd of August—but the swell is just too tiny to make a proper go of it.
Looking into the second week, into August, the picture doesn't brighten. The wind stays problematic, mostly onshore, and the swell remains small and weak. The energy readings rarely get above 50. There are no strong swells, no long-period groundswells to offer any real hope. The only positive is that Al Gal is consistent in how inconsistent the quality is.
In short, if you're a beginner looking for a glassy, knee-high session, Tuesday the 28th of July morning is your only real option in this entire window. For the rest of you, I'd say save the gas and wait for a better forecast. Sometimes you just have to take the blank run on the chin.
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.
