Argaman’s Beach (Tel Aviv, Israel) is a popular urban surf spot on the Mediterranean coast, best known for its convenient access, lively beach scene, and workable waves when conditions line up.

Surf conditions

• Wave type: Mostly beach break, with shifting sandbanks
• Best swell: Mediterranean winter swells, especially when storms pass through
