The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Al Gal. The next few days are pretty much a write-off for anything decent. The swell is tiny and weak, mostly knee-high or less, and the wind is often cross-onshore, making it a messy, bumpy lineup. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 82°, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
We’ve got a long gap of poor surf stretching from now, Monday 13 July, all the way through the middle of the week. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The combined energy stays in the weak range (33 to 68), with short-period windswell of 6 to 8 seconds. Honestly, it’s more of a floating session than a surfing one.
We finally see a slight uptick in size around Wednesday 22 July, but the quality is still poor. Swell nudges up to 3ft from the NW, but with a short period of 6 seconds and moderate onshore winds, it’s not going to be pretty. Don’t get your hopes up.
The only real glimmer in this whole outlook comes late in the second week. Around Friday 24 July and into Saturday 25 July, the swell starts to build. On Friday morning we’ve got 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy climbing into the moderate range (228). The wind is onshore, but it’s light, so it might not be completely blown out. By Saturday morning, the swell is 5ft from the WNW, period still 8 seconds, and the energy is solid (311). The wind is light cross-onshore from the SW. It’s still marginal, but it’s the closest thing to a surfable wave in the whole 16 days.
For a beginner-friendly spot, anything over 5ft starts to get a bit much, and by Sunday 26 July, the morning swell hits 5ft. That’s pushing it for learners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that’s your best window. The period is 9 seconds, energy is strong (424), and the wind is light cross-onshore. It’s still not glassy, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.
Don’t expect any big standouts here. This is a quiet period for Al Gal. Keep an eye on that Friday 24 to Sunday 26 window, but temper your expectations. If you’re a kiter, the onshore winds and building swell might actually look better to you than a surfing session.
Stay patient,
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.
