Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dolphinarium over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dolphinarium.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. The surf is pretty much flat for the first few days, and when it does show up, it’s a real struggle to find anything decent. The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you will need a lot of patience.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing until around Wednesday morning, July 15th. That morning, we see a tiny bump of 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (103). It’s surfable, but just barely. The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, so it’ll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at that size, but don’t expect much push.
The real standout, and I mean the only time you should even think about paddling out, is the morning of Thursday, July 16th. We get 3ft from the WNW again, but the period holds at 8 seconds. The killer part? Glassy conditions. Dead calm wind from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (95). It’s still small, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be the cleanest wave in the whole forecast. Fairly consistent swell means you’ll get a few, but it’s still a real small wave.
After that, it’s a repeat of small, chopped-up, or onshore junk. The morning of Saturday, July 25th, shows a slightly bigger 4ft from the WNW, but it’s cross-shore wind and the combined energy is moderate (165). Still, it’s messy. The next morning, Sunday, July 26th, has a glassy 3ft, but it’s too inconsistent to get excited about.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a surf, paddle out early on the 16th for the glass. Otherwise, the wind is a problem and the waves are small. This stretch doesn’t look much better for paddle surfing than it does for a kite, especially on the afternoons when the onshore wind picks up.
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.
