Tim from Israel
“Maravi is too conveniently located between Jaffa and Tel Aviv. As a paddle boarder space is always tight and aggressively protected at the main break. “ Oy! SAP!” You can see many shudder but it leads to a very confrontational atmosphere.
Here it’s like no rules wrestling. Quite an antipathy to the free spirit, let’s all help each other beginnings of surfing. Paddlers are breaking the norm and it’s ironic to see some surfers holding on to their tradition.

Go out early and in the water by 6am and you will enjoy 1 hrs peace with some really cool and hospitable folk. Those in the know who appreciate the morning off shore breeze and more space

All the breaks in Tel Aviv are seriously affected by run off from the streets and the parched water ways following torrential rain. The sea goes oily brown for a few days.

I tend to pick my times to glassy seas and real early otherwise I avoid.

There are much better and larger beaches with better behaved folks further north.”
