The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's talk about Al Gal (Al-Gal) over the next couple weeks. I'll level with you – it's looking like a bust for the most part. The water's riding warm, about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal, but that's about the only good news for the near future.
From Wednesday the 19th through to the 28th of August, we're looking at a serious lull. The swell is tiny, mostly from the WNW, with wave heights at 1 to 2 feet. The energy is puny, barely scratching 26 (weak energy) on most days. Morning glass-offs will keep the water looking pretty, like on Friday the 21st and Monday the 24th, but there's nothing with any push behind it. It's going to be a solid 11-day stretch of flatness.
The only flicker of hope shows up on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. Swell picks up to about 2 feet from the WNW, with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 50 (weak energy). It's still small, but with a light cross-on wind from the SW, you might catch a few knee-high rollers if you're on a log. That's the best of the whole block, and that's not saying much.
We see another possible window on the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. It's glassy again, with a 2-foot WNW swell and a 7-second period. Energy is around 41 (weak energy). The call is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's the runt of the litter, but at least you won't be competing for waves with anyone. After that, it flat-lines again, dropping to 0.7 feet on the 3rd of September.
For an exposed spot like Al Gal, this is a rough patch. It usually doesn't stay this poor for long, so don't lose hope, but for the foreseeable future, you're better off finding something else to do.
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.
