Zvulun Beach is an exposed beach break that mainly reacts to west swells. According to surf sources, the spot can take quality waves when a west swell meets an east-southeast wind or more broadly from the east, resulting in cleaner conditions. In kitesurfing, this corresponds to a wind often side-off to offshore relative to the main beach, making it quite good for riding when it remains stable, but with necessary vigilance on the return to shore.

The water surface varies greatly depending on the swell and the presence of breaking waves. In calm seas, one can have a relatively flat to slightly choppy water surface, while with more swell, the spot quickly becomes choppy with short waves and shifted peaks. Sand dominates, but the area can be crowded when it works, and one must carefully identify entry and exit zones before rigging.

Launching is done directly from the beach, with space to take off, but one must stay organized as the site is urban and frequented. The best kiting areas are often a bit away from the most exposed sectors to waves and swimmers. When the wind turns too onshore, the spot becomes less clean and more physical.
