The Lowdown
Alright, let’s dig into this. Honest truth is, Al Gal is in a real slump over this 16-day window. There’s no quality surf worth jumping for – basically a flat spell from start to finish.
Right off the bat, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are tiny. Swell runs just 1 to 2 ft from the West-Northwest, period short at 6 seconds, and wind leaning onshore or cross-onshore. Water temp is a warm 85°F, running a little above average, but you won’t care about that when you’re bobbing over nearly nothing. Combined energy readings are weak, sitting between 13 and 55.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see the swell nudging up to 3 to 3 ft, still short period, 7 to 8 seconds. Sunday morning the 16th gives the highest combined energy we see at 105, but wind is cross-onshore and the report says “marginal” at best. That’s the closest thing we get to a wave, but you’ll be sharing it on a so-so day.
Around midweek, the 21st and 26th, we get glassy conditions early – wind goes near zero. But the swell crashes to 2 to 2 ft and the period drops to just 5 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, not a ride. The rest of the stretch is pretty much the same story: small swell, no power, intermittent onshore wind.
Truth is, there’s no standout day here. This is a break that’s usually pretty consistent, so when it goes this quiet, you feel it. If you absolutely want to surf, maybe Sunday the 16th morning offers the best chance, but don’t expect much. Word to the wise: light wind on these small days might be better for a kite than a surfboard.
We’ve had dry spells like this before. Doesn’t stay dead forever, but this forecast is looking like a long one.

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.
