Zvulun Surf Guide
To the north of The Marina Herzlyia lies Zvulun Beach, which can supply the goods on any given day. When conditions get stormy, stick to the T-shaped jetty on the south side of the beach for some cover from the wind and an easy paddle-out with the current. On smaller, cleaner days head a bit north where multiple peaks are on offer. Likes E winds, but if you stick to the jetty, this spot can handle S and SW winds up to 20 kts.
