Alright folks, Rusty here. The Al Gal region is having a rough patch. We're looking at a solid two-week stretch where the surf is just not showing up. The bones are there, but nothing is coming together.
For the next week or so, we've got a weak WNW swell, but every single day is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds. Swell heights are stuck between 3 ft and 4 ft, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, so the wave energy is weak to moderate (99 to 185). Expect choppy, poor surf conditions with no real shape. It's a write-off for a paddle board. If you're feeling desperate, the stronger wind on these afternoons might make it more interesting for the kite surfers.
There is a brief gap in the action. From Saturday the 11th through Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops right off to almost nothing (1 ft to 2 ft), with barely any energy (11 to 25). It'll be dead flat for most of that stretch.
Now, Wednesday the 15th morning brings a tiny glimmer of hope. We get a glassy morning with light wind and a 3 ft swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 82° on the 4th of July, but by the 15th we don't have a temperature reading. The wave energy climbs back up to 57, which is still weak, but the glassy conditions make it surfable, albeit very ordinary. It's the only moment on the entire forecast that isn't a complete loss. After that, it's back to onshore crud for the rest of the week.
Honestly, with no consistency in good conditions, this is one of those blank runs that is normal for the area. Don't hold your breath. It tends not to stay poor forever, but right now the forecasts are not your friend.
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.
