The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions at Al Gal. Honestly, for the next 16 days, there ain't much to get excited about. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 86° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. We've got a long gap of small, weak surf with poor quality. There’s no real standout session in the whole window, but a couple of mornings in the second week might be worth a look if you're desperate.
The first solid week is a write-off. We've got tiny swell, mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the NW, with periods of only 5 to 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely hitting double digits most days. The winds are mostly cross-onshore and choppy during the day, though we get glassy mornings on Saturday the 14th, Monday the 16th, and Tuesday the 17th. Even with the glass, the surf is just too small and weak to paddle for.
We finally see a tiny pulse on the morning of Wednesday the 18th, with the swell bumping to 3ft and energy hitting 61, but the wind is already cross-on and messy again. The whole first week is just a story of "poor surf conditions."
There’s a bit more life in the second week. On the morning of Saturday the 21st, the swell hangs at 2ft but the period stretches to 10 seconds from the W, bumping the energy to 63. Winds are light and variable from the N, making it glassy. The surf is very ordinary, but at least it’s clean. Then, the morning of Sunday the 22nd shows a jump to 3ft from the WNW with an 11-second period. The combined swell energy climbs to 252 which is a moderate pulse. This is the best of the whole forecast. It’s clean with a gentle cross-shore wind from the N, but the score is still marginal. A long-period groundswell like that can be a bit straight for the beach break, but with clean conditions, it’s the closest we get to rideable.
The rest of that week is more of the same: small, weak, and blown out by afternoons.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, the only day that even registers is the morning of Sunday the 22nd. And even that’s a "maybe." The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this run. There’s just no consistency and no quality on the table.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
