Having missed some of the best waves in Israel for many years (I arrived the day after the swell - classic :-) this new swell was welcome. Totally flat the yesterday and nice 1-1.2m swell today. Sets had head-high faces - which was unexpected and nice - very fat waves. I rented a secondhand board for a couple of hours from Ultrawave in Hertzliya (nice guys) and had a ball. The north side of the marina was a bit smaller than south and further north but protected from the wind and made for nice waves. Crowded, but the waves broke all over the place so everyone could get something even despite goatboarders. at the end of the session a few paddle boarders came out and mostly struggled, but saw one great wave taken.
