Bat Galim

Bat Galim is a beach break located in Haifa, Israel, on the Mediterranean coast. The spot faces northwest toward open water, with urban development and a major coastal highway running parallel to the shore. The beach is relatively narrow with gentle sandy bottom and shallow water near shore, making it suitable for learning basic techniques. Water temperatures average 21.8°C year-round. The primary limitation is low wind reliability at 3.9% - this spot experiences predominantly light conditions with average wind around 6.8 knots. Northeast wind (45°) would be ideal side-shore conditions. The area presents logistical challenges due to highway proximity and residential constraints on beach access and parking. Small average waves (0.80m) and light-swell conditions mean this spot functions best during wind-driven sessions rather than swell-dependent days. The shallow, sheltered bay waters make it suitable for beginners practicing fundamentals, though consistent wind is rarely available. Best to check local wind forecasts before visiting, as flat spells are common.
