Maagan Michael

Maagan Michael is a WNW-facing beach break in Israel. It picks up swell from WSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 75% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ESE: light winds or ESE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WNW onshores chop it up.
