The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for the region. The only spot on the radar is Dolphinarium, and honestly, it's a flat spell for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and very ordinary conditions.
The first real chance to even get a wetsuit on is around Thursday morning, July 30th. We've got a tiny 3ft NW swell rolling in, but the real story is the wind. Thursday morning, July 30th, is glassy. That's a big deal for a spot that gets a lot of onshore junk. It'll be clean, but with combined swell energy sitting at a weak 79 and a period of just 7 seconds, these are going to be gutless, soft waves. It's beginner-friendly size, at least. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 84°.
Then we hit another lull. A few mornings in early August offer some glassy conditions, like Tuesday, August 4th, with a 2ft NW swell and glassy wind, but again, the energy is really low (30) and the period is short (6 seconds). It's a paddle-around session, not a surf. The best of the best, if you can call it that, is way out on Thursday morning, August 6th. We get a 3ft WNW swell with a 6 mph cross-offshore wind from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy climbs to 66 (still weak), but with a period of 6 seconds, it's going to be a bit of a knee-slapper. It's the standout simply because it's the least terrible, but it's hardly a standout.
After that, it fades to almost nothing. By the second week, from August 8th onward, we're looking at swells dropping to 1ft and 1.0ft with combined energy in the single digits. There's a last gasp on Wednesday morning, August 12th, with a 3ft WNW swell and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is only 52. It's a desperate session.
Honestly, this is a classic case of the region going quiet. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's no real surf to get excited about for the next 16 days.
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.
