Beit Yanai Surf Guide

A wide-open beachbreak, Beit Yanai can offer some nice A-frames when conditions come together. A great spot for longboards on the small, clean days, as there’s usually a lot of sand in the banks. Will take every wind direction that involves E.

If you stick to the breaks right in front of the parking lot, it’s going to be a rough ride, but if you walk five minutes in any direction, you can find a peak to yourself.
