The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dolphinarium is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves that are mostly blown out or onshore. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waiting.

The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. Through the middle of the week beforehand, we’ve got tiny 2ft to 3ft swells from the WNW with short periods of 5 to 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-off or cross, keeping the surface clean-ish but the waves are just too weak to get excited about. The combined energy is low, sitting between 17 and 80 (weak energy).

Now, Saturday the 25th of July morning brings a little bump. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 351 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a gentle cross-off, which means clean conditions. This is the standout of the entire forecast. The swell is a bit much for beginners, but it’s the best size we’ll see. The rest of that day and the following days drop back down to knee-high dribble with onshore winds.

The pattern continues into the end of July and the start of August. There are a few mornings on the 30th and 31st of July, and the 1st and 2nd of August where the wind goes light cross-off or glassy, but the swell is tiny – 2ft to 3ft from the WNW or NW. The combined energy is very low (11 to 80). The morning of August 2nd looks glassy, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but it’s still just a small, weak wave.

Overall, the best bet is the Saturday morning of the 25th of July. That’s your one real window for a clean, moderate-sized wave. The rest of the fortnight is a waiting game with small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The waves here are fairly consistent, but this run is a real test of patience.

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.
