Tel Aviv offers approximately 20 km of beach stretch at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean and good weather conditions for surfing all year-round.

Generally, surfing in Tel Aviv is mild, nothing like extreme surfing in Indonesia, Hawaii or Australia. If you are just a beginner try Dolfinarium beach, where water breaks make the waves come orderly. The West Shore is recommended for professional surfers, the swell here is usually higher and waves break far from the shoreline. The most famous surfing beach is Hilton Beach; waves here are wide, breaking very well. Water breaks protect the surf line, but not in high swells.

Summer water temperature gets as hot as 28 C and the wave’s height is about 1 meter. Early in the morning (at 6 – 7 am) swell offers the best surf, when the waves are breaking long and perfect. Later, at 8 – 9 am the swell can get chaotic with waves breaking shorter. Wintertime offers you the best swells and big waves (2-3 meters) but with quite cold water (about 14 C).

Mediterranean is just a ten minutes bicycle ride from city center, but if you are an eager surfer and you are going to wake up early for better waves, it can be a good idea to find Tel Aviv apartments closer to the beach you like.

Kite Surfing

Kitesurfing is one of most exciting and fun sports in the world and Egypt (Hurgada) is the perfect place to learn it fast and easy. The principle of kitesurfing is to use a powerful kite to pull a rider on a small board across the water. By using the power of the kite the rider can perform high jumps and tricks in a controlled and stylish way.

There is no doubt that it can be one of the most radical water sports around, but at the same time it can be mastered very quickly and it does not need to be that radical. Kitesurfing can be as hectic or as laid back as you want it to be. Whatever you make of it, it will be the most fun you ever had on the water. Read the rest of this entry »

Until the summer of 1883 this volcano, situated on an island between Java and Sumatra, had been quiet for over two hundred years. In may that year came the first signs of renewed activity. Then at 10am on 27 August, the whole island began to explode. Read the rest of this entry »
