About Ha`Radar
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (288°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (108°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 23). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually January, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Herzliya, 7 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 10 surf spots, 7 dive sites and 1 kayak spot.
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
