Dromi - Herzlyia Marina Surf Guide

One of Israel’s most consistent spots, with two general breaks: 1. On the north side, The Point is just next to the jetty. On any given day you can score some decent rides here, and occasionally some good barrels. Breaking from knee-high to double-overhead, this righthand pointbreak that breaks off the jetty will turn on and off without any notice; 2. South of The Point is Middles, an A-frame beachbreak that can offer some heavy, long rights and lefts over a good sand bank. Likes E wind, but can handle anything from the N.
