Ha-Arubot (Bet Yanay) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Grab your board and don’t get your hopes up too high—this stretch is looking pretty flat and crumbly for the most part. Ha-Arubot (Bet Yanay) is the only spot on the radar, and honestly, it’s not offering much in the way of proper surf over the next two weeks. The water’s sitting at a warm 85°F with a slight warm anomaly, so it’s a touch toastier than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.

Right now, heading into the 12th and through the 13th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell—around 1ft to 2ft, mostly out of the WNW, with short periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy’s weak, sitting in the 11 to 25 range. It’s not even worth paddling out for. The 14th and 15th stay poor, with 2ft to 3ft but still short-period and cross-shore or onshore winds chopping things up. Combined energy’s still weak, 36 to 66, so nothing’s lining up.

There’s a tiny flicker on the morning of the 16th—still small at 3ft, WNW, but the period ticks up to 8 seconds and the wind’s light cross-onshore. Energy gets to 94, which is about as good as it gets, but it’s still marginal. The 17th and 18th mornings are similar—3ft to 3ft, light cross-onshore, periods around 7 to 8 seconds—but it’s not enough to call it a wave. The afternoons stay blown out with onshore winds.

The 19th drops back down, and by the 20th we’ve got a glassy morning at 2ft, WNW, with a 6-second period, but it’s tiny and weak, energy at 20. The 21st through 23rd keep the same story—small, short-period dribble, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with light morning winds but onshore afternoons. Nothing’s breaking with any power.

The 24th and 25th stay in the doldrums, 2ft to 2ft, periods dropping to 5 to 6 seconds, and by the 26th and 27th we’re back down to 1ft with weak, messy conditions. The energy’s barely double digits by the end—9 to 11—and the wind’s cross or cross-onshore.

Honestly, from the 12th through the 27th, there’s not a single day where Ha-Arubot (Bet Yanay) is really working. It’s inconsistent and rarely breaking, and this run is just flat. If you’re keen, the most promising—and I use that word loosely—is the morning of the 16th, with a bit more period and the best energy of the whole window, but even that’s a struggle. It’s a good time for a flat spell, maybe a swim, but the surf just isn’t there.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t force it.
