The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, this is a pretty quiet stretch. The finder is pushing out one spot, and it’s a real sleeper. The whole 16-day window is a long slow grind of small, poor-quality surf. There’s a gap of almost no decent waves from the start until the morning of Sunday the 30th, where we finally see a pulse of energy, but the conditions are still messy. After that, the rest of the period is mostly tiny, choppy, or onshore.
The one name in the mix is Al Gal. It’s a beginner-friendly, consistent break that’s fully exposed to the swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, which is a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out.
The only real standout in this whole outlook is the Sunday morning of the 30th of August. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 376 (moderate). That’s the biggest push of the whole run. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The downside? It’s a rain shower, so you’ll get wet, but the waves will be the best on offer. The swell direction is WNW, which matches the optimum from the west for Al Gal, so the break should line up well. It’s a consistent spot, but crowds are often around, so expect company.
The Tuesday morning of the 1st of September is worth a mention too. It’s glassy, with a light NE breeze, and the swell is 3 ft from the WNW. The energy is weak (66), but the clean conditions make it surfable. It’s very ordinary, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s the only other time the wind plays nice.
After that, it’s a wasteland. Repeated mornings with glassy wind but no swell, or afternoons with a moderate cross-onshore breeze and choppy junk. The 7th of September morning has a glassy calm and 2 ft swell, but it’s still very ordinary.
If you’re a beginner, the Sunday morning of the 30th is your best bet, but 6 ft might be a bit much if you’re just starting out. For the experienced crew, it’s the only time the swell has any grunt. The rest of the 16 days, honestly, leave the board at home.
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.
