Neurim Beach (Netanya)

Neurim Beach (also known as Neurim Youth Beach) is an exposed sandy beach break near Beit Yanai/Netanya that generally delivers reasonably consistent surf in the winter season. It is oriented to work best with west (and west-northwest) swells, and riders report that offshore east to east-southeast winds can groom the waves, while westerly winds tend to make conditions choppy. For wave character, conditions are typically described as moderate power with a mushy wave shape and relatively short rides (often around 30–50 meters). Multiple peaks can form along a sandy stretch, and the spot is commonly presented as accessible for beginners, including for getting comfortable with both left and right takeoffs on the beach. Safety is a key consideration: rip currents are present (especially during higher swell), and there may be scattered underwater rocks near the northern and southern ends. After heavy winter storms, submerged debris has also been reported, so it’s important to check conditions before committing. In terms of timing and gear, surfing is best during the winter period from November through April (with rainy/storm conditions overlapping the best surf windows). A full wetsuit is commonly recommended for December through April, while a lighter suit or rash guard may be sufficient outside of those colder months. The spot is generally less crowded than the main Netanya beaches, though weekends can still be busy with local surfers.
