Maaravi Surf Guide
The most southern spot in Tel Aviv, the Maravi is known to be a swell magnet, grabbing every little bit of energy around. With three main peaks along the small stretch of coast between the boardwalk on the northern side to the old Jaffa port on the southern side providing shelter from southerly winds, the Maravi can handle those winter days just before the storm really kicks in. Likes WNW swell, but can handle small to medium W swell. Likes E winds, but can handle SW and S winds.
