Bat Yam

Tel Aviv District, Israel
🌀Strong rips👥Crowded

Bat Yam is Israel's surf hub—a Mediterranean beach break just south of Tel Aviv that has developed a passionate local community. Winter storms from the northwest bring the best conditions, though waves are typically small and the sea breeze often turns things onshore by mid-morning. Early dawn patrols are essential. The Israeli surf scene is vibrant and growing, proving that Mediterranean surfing can thrive even in unexpected places.
