Tupim Beach (Banana Drum Beach)
Israël · Tel-Aviv District
Tupim Beach, also known as Banana Drum Beach, is one of the most well-known urban beaches in Tel Aviv for local surfers and kitesurfers. It is a convenient, lively spot with easy access from the city and a very local atmosphere.
On site, there is mainly a body of water suitable for riders looking for simple and effective navigation when the conditions are right. The spot works well in line with the beaches of Tel Aviv, with consistent wind during the right season and a fairly straightforward navigation area.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot most often works with a side-shore to side-on wind depending on the dominant orientation, allowing for clean navigation along the beach. The launch area is urban and busy, so it is important to stay organized during rigging and takeoff. The space remains usable, but one must deal with the density of bathers and the shared uses of the beach.
The water is generally more pleasant when the swell is low to moderate, with a rendering often chop to small swell depending on the season. When the wind picks up, navigation becomes more physical and more irregular, with short chop typical of the Tel Aviv coast. The best sessions occur when the wind is stable and the beach is less crowded.
As with the rest of the Tel Aviv waterfront, it is important to check local rules before heading out. In the summer season, some central beaches may be subject to restrictions, while cooler periods generally offer more freedom. The spot remains particularly interesting for riders capable of managing an urban environment and sometimes technical launches.
