Kitesurfing in Haifa District
2 spots · 1 destination · 4 schools
Haifa splits into two very different rides: Neve Yam on the quiet Carmel coast south of Atlit is natural, uncrowded water for intermediate and advanced riders when northerlies line up, while Bat Galim inside the city is rated advanced-only, with the Church spot's shallow sharp reef ruling out anyone learning.
Bat Galim holds wind nearly year-round, Neve Yam mainly April through October.

the rules these spots carry, with the year on each
Atlit / Neve YamAtlit-Caesarea2026Almost the whole Neve Yam coastal reserve is closed military ground, with the open exception a limited section of Neve Yam beach and Tamnun Island; the strip between Tamnun Island and Salt Island, south of the Atlit fortress, is inside the closed zone.
Haifa / Bat GalimHaifa20262026: follow local instructions, keep clear of pedestrians on the promenade and stay away from bathing and traffic areas.
Each block is the opening of the record's own rule, kept in its own words. Where two postings do not line up, both are kept and neither is picked for you.
