The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window is a flat spell for Dolphinarium. There’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking double digits, and the swell heights sit around 1.0 ft to 2 ft all the way through. The period is short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so there’s no grunt behind it. The wind is glassy or light on some mornings, but it doesn’t matter because the surf itself is a no-go. The whole stretch is a write-off.
Wednesday 9 September through to Thursday 24 September … every single day is marked “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy of all swells directed here is tiny—for example, 43 on Wednesday morning, dropping to just 3 by the 21st. That’s nothing. The swell direction is WNW or NW, which is actually the opposite of the optimum direction for Dolphinarium (NW is offshore for this spot, but the swell is too small and weak to do anything with). The break is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, but when there’s no swell, it’s just a lake.
If you’re a beginner wanting to learn in flat, clean, glassy conditions on a few mornings, you could probably sit on a foamie and catch nothing. But for any real surf, there’s nothing. For the more experienced crew, forget it. The wind kicks onshore most afternoons, 12–16 mph, making it messy even if there was a ripple. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
There’s a long gap of no recommendations—the entire 16 days. This isn’t unusual for the area when it goes flat, but it’s a bummer. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
