The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Al Gal over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days aren't going to set the world on fire. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands for anything really worthwhile. The first decent window shapes up on Monday the 31st of August, but it's a very brief tease. Monday morning sees a 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 138, and while the water is a touch warmer than normal at a balmy 85°, the conditions are questionable. By Monday afternoon, it's already a write-off with a cross-onshore wind and chop.
After that, we hit a proper dry spell. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to Tuesday the 15th of September, the surf is pretty much non-existent for any kind of quality session. We're looking at tiny to gutless waves, mostly under 3ft, with short periods and messy winds. There isn't a single standout in that entire stretch. A few mornings might look glassy, like Tuesday the 1st and Sunday the 6th, but the swell simply isn't there to back it up. The wave energy sits in the double digits for most of that time, which tells you everything.
The only moment that even deserves a mention is the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. We've got a clean, 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs a bit to 62, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’ll look clean. It's still small and ordinary, but it's the closest we get to a surfable wave in that whole second week.
So, the honest truth is there is no top pick here. The period is a bust. For a spot like Al Gal that can be consistent, this is a rare blank run. If you're a beginner, the water will be warm and the conditions will be safe, but you won’t have much to ride. For the rest of us, it’s a good time to check the forecast again in a few days, because it can’t stay this poor for long.
Stay tuned.
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.
