Hadromy (Herzliya Pituach)

Hadromy (also known as Haambatia/“Marina Beach”) is a surf break south of Herzliya Marina with sandy bottom, offering both point-like and beach-break sections. The northern/jetty-adjacent area features a right-hand point-style wave, while additional peaks along the shore provide lefts and rights depending on swell and wind. When conditions line up, wave quality is described as good and the break tends to peel, with moderate wave power. Wind and swell are closely tied to season. Winter is repeatedly noted as the most favorable time, with consistent swells and offshore east-type winds that help clean up the surface. Offshore/cleaning conditions are most associated with east to east–southeast winds (and best wind direction reported as east), while the working swell is typically from the west and northwest. A sea-breeze pattern is also referenced for warmer months (afternoon window), but swell may drop during those periods. The spot is very popular and can be crowded when waves are working; early morning sessions are often least crowded. Safety considerations include rip currents and hazards near the marina breakwater/rocks. Swimming-zone rules can apply during lifeguard hours, and the guidance indicates no surfing in designated swimming zones when lifeguards are operating. Beyond surfing, the location is also used for other board sports when wind/water conditions permit. Kitesurfing is described as possible in side-shore/side-onshore conditions (with an emphasis that many riders may prefer broader beaches for coverage), while wingfoiling is noted as increasingly popular on lighter wind days and small swells, supported by relatively easy launching and sandy bottom. Overall, it’s an urban, amenity-rich beach setting with structured access from the marina area and seasonal lifeguard presence.
