The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about what’s on offer here. For Al Gal, the next 16 days are a total bust. I’m talking flat, messy, and not worth waxing a board for. The first sign of anything that even registers is on Sunday, August 16th, but even that’s a stretch.
The pattern is clear: from the 10th through the 15th, the swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with a period of just 6 seconds. That’s ocean flatness. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-on or onshore, and often breezy, so the surface is junk. The occasional glassy morning doesn’t matter when there’s no wave. Wave energy is in the low double digits (like 14 to 32), which is weak. Then there’s a big gap.
The only flicker of hope is Sunday the 16th into Monday the 17th, when the swell pushes up to 2ft to 3ft, and the period finally stretches to 7 to 9 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 65 to 86 (moderate). It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind on Sunday morning is a light cross-on from the SW, and the conditions are called “marginal.” That’s your best window. Monday the 17th still has 3ft swell, but the wind is still bad. After that, it drops back to tiny, messy junk from the 18th to the 25th, with swell of 2ft to 3ft and short periods. The energy is back in the low digits (19 to 63). The morning of the 23rd is called “marginal” again with 3ft and light wind, but it’s still not good.
So, there is no standout. No break to highlight. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 85°, but that’s about it. For a beginner, maybe the morning of the 16th could be a tiny, clean-ish paddle. For everyone else? Don’t bother. This is a long blank run, and it’s normal for the area when the forecasts look this flat.

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.
