The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Al Gal is the only break on the radar, and we’re looking at a pretty quiet 16-day stretch. The first week and a half is mostly small, messy, and not going to get your heart pumping. There’s a gap of several days where the surf is just not worth mentioning.
Right now, Thursday morning, September 3rd, you’ve got a tiny 1ft northwest swell, but that cross-on wind from the SW at 6 mph is making a mess. The water is 85°, a touch warmer than normal for the season. The combined wave energy is weak (7). This pattern holds through the weekend: swells around 1.0ft to 3ft, cross-on breezes, and choppy conditions all day.
Monday the 7th of September morning brings a change. The wind goes glassy, calm from the SW, and the swell is 2ft from the WNW with a 7-second period. The energy is still weak (48), but you’ll find some ordinary, surfable waves. It’s not going to be a classic session, but it’s the first real chance you get.
The real standout arrives on Thursday the 10th of September morning. The swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 102 (moderate). That WNW swell matches the optimum direction, and with glassy conditions from a light WSW wind at 3 mph, it’s clean. Al Gal is consistent, so you can expect a few little lines. Crowds can be a factor here at times, so you might have company. It’s the best day of the lot.
After that, we drop back into the doldrums until Friday the 18th of September morning, when another pulse hits 3ft from the WNW with 8-second periods and moderate energy (133). Glassy again with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. That’s your second-best window, but it’s far out, so treat it as a hopeful maybe.
Overall, don’t expect much. Thursday the 10th is your best bet for a clean, little wave on a longboard or a fun board. The rest is mostly flat or chopped up.
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.
