The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but the first proper surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Wednesday, September 10th. For the first few days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out until then. Even after that, it’s a long, lean run of small, unexciting surf.
The only spot on the radar is Dolphinarium, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°F.
Let’s get into it. The first real chance comes on Thursday, September 10th in the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds – not much energy behind it (combined energy of all swells directed here is 50). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don’t expect any fireworks. This is a beginner-friendly wave, but with the swell this small, it’s a longboard or a foamie kind of day.
After that, the rest of the run is grim. We’re talking swell heights that drop to 0.7ft or 1ft with periods so short they’re barely worth mentioning. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy. There’s a tiny window of glassy conditions on Saturday, September 13th and Monday, September 15th mornings, but the swell is 1ft – it’s flat, plain and simple.
The only other tiny glimmer is on Friday, September 18th in the morning. Glassy conditions, light wind, and a 2ft swell from the NW with a 7-second period (combined energy 46). It’s still small, but the glassy conditions will make it look better than it is. For a beginner, that’s your best bet in the second week.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with consistent onshore wind and tiny waves might be more fun for you than a paddle. For the rest of us, this is a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Dolphinarium Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dolphinarium provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dolphinarium can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dolphinarium surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dolphinarium) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dolphinarium may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Dolphinarium is 3 km (2 miles) from Ashdod. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ashdod. Ashdod has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
