Before you start paddle to the break, a good idea is to ask a local surfer where to enter the spot and where to paddle out.
Overview
Atmosphere
During the winter storms it's probably the best spot to surf in israel. Very clean and glassy waves. The day after a storm is the best day to surf the spot- you can get barreled by a 6 foot glassy wave or even higher. Perfect Conditions.
a small tip from a local
if u come to the casion i will give u a small tip and where to enter the water from and more important where to go out from. the casino is reef and its hard to get in the water because of the big stones.. but right next to the casino house there is a small place with sand if u go there its easier access to the water and u wont get cuts. have fun!

ISRAEL HAVE WAVES, maybe israel isn't one of the best spots in the world, but i have to disagree with you.
the waves here aren't only wind-waves, also swell-waves. and yes, we have here 2m swell a couple of times in the year aspecially in January, and if you don't believe me, you can come to here and see for yourself!
i'm not saying israel is a very good spot to surf, israel doesnt compare to spots like Hawaii,Australia,America..
but it's really nice to surf here, and the waves are fine too.

been there
I've spent time there and any real surfer wouldn't call that slop a wave.You wouldn't know what real groundswell was, I've seen israelis surf and they would struggle in anything over .5 of a metre.I understand that you are making the best of what windswell may be there sometimes -but don't crap on about 2-3m swell and tubes its pathetic.
