The Lowdown
Oi, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Al Gal.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is showing a whole lot of flatness and poor conditions for the next couple of weeks. There's nothing here that’s going to get a surfer jumping out of bed. The first session worthy of a mention is a real marginal one, and even then, it's a struggle.
The first glimpse of anything rideable is on Friday morning, the 31st of July. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch. The combined energy is just 78 (weak), and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW at 3 mph. The water is a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Honestly, it's a marginal call, and the score reflects that – it's a thin, weak wave if you're desperate.
After that, the outlook goes dry. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Saturday morning, the 15th of August, it's a solid two-week stretch of nothing good. Day after day, the forecast dishes up poor surf conditions with tiny, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. We get some glassy mornings on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th of August, but with swell heights barely reaching 2ft and periods as low as 5 seconds, the energy is in the dirt (values like 27, 32, 12). That's not surf, that's a lake ripple.
The next time we see a blip on the radar is Saturday morning, the 15th of August. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 66 (weak). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW at 3 mph. It's still a marginal forecast, but it's the best we've got in this whole 16-day window. The afternoon on the same day sees the wind shift onshore, making it messy.
So, the only realistic standout, if you can call it that, is the Saturday morning on the 15th of August. The swell is small, the period is short, and the energy is weak. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and it's consistent, so it *might* break, but don't expect much. Al Gal is an exposed beach break, and with this kind of weak, short-period swell, it's going to be pretty gutless. The water is a touch warmer than usual, but that's about the only positive.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, this is a dry spell. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it can't stay this poor forever.
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.
