The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Al Gal is a bit of a bummer for the next 16 days. The charts are showing a real flat spell, and honestly, there isn't a single standout session to get excited about. We're looking at a long, dry run with no real surf on offer.
The first sign of anything even remotely rideable is on Thursday, July 16th, but it's a poor show. We've got a weak 2.9ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it's gonna be lacking any punch. The cross-onshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph is going to mess it up, making for a choppy, messy surface. Wave energy is a low 88, so don't expect much. For the rest of July and into the first week of August, practically every day is a write-off. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2.6ft, and the wind is almost always on it or cross-shore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. There are a few glassy mornings, like Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, but the swell is so small (2.0ft) that it's barely breaking. It's a case of "no juice, no use."
The only glimmer of a pulse comes on Saturday, July 25th, when the swell bumps up to 3.9ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 165, which is at least moderate. But it's still a cross-onshore wind, so it's not going to be clean. It's a bit bigger, but the quality is still poor. Sunday the 26th drops right back off. Some of the mornings around the 27th and 28th are rated as "marginal," but with cross-onshore winds and tiny swell, it's tough to recommend. The water temp is a pleasant 82°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least the wait won't be a cold one.
There's just no good surf on offer here.

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.
