Surfer Magazine reports:
Local Israeli surfers are concerned about a plan to widen the boardwalk at Hilton Beach, Israel’s main surfing contest site, crippling some of the best setups in the country. Tel Aviv and the National Sewage Administration want to accomodate more robust sewage infrastructure so ruptures don’t occur. But with clean-water peace of mind will come hideous backwash and unnatural sand flow. This proposed expansion hasn’t been finalized but a contractor has been signed and roadblocks are in place.
You can check out the surf conditions at Hilton Beach right now via Webcam (pretty flat), but who cares how good the waves are if you’re dodging turds? Better to paddle a little closer to Egypt for a new break and let the sanitation folks prevent, ah, ruptures.
