The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, it's looking pretty flat for a while. You're looking at a big gap of tiny, weak waves and choppy wind for the first week, through the end of August. Not worth getting wet for. The water is a balmy 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing of note.
Things finally start to tick up on Saturday the 29th of August. At Dolphinarium, we’ll see a small bump of 3ft from the WNW with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is just scraping into moderate at 103. The morning is your only shot – it’s glassy and clean with light offshore wind. The afternoon gets wrecked by a 12 mph NW cross-onshore, so you gotta be an early bird. It's a beginner-friendly size.
The next little window is Tuesday the 1st of September. Same kind of swell – about 3ft from the WNW – but the early morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 136. Still, it's ordinary, not pumping. The short period means it won’t have much push.
The standout, and the only one I’d get excited about, is Saturday the 29th of August morning. Glassy, clean, small 3ft waves from the WNW. The break is fairly consistent. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might score some empty peaks. It’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s your best bet by a long shot.
You’ve also got Friday the 4th of September morning with 3ft and glassy winds, but the energy is a bit lower at 84. It’s a decent backup, but not the main event.
So, long dry spell, then a couple of clean, small windows. The 29th morning is the one to aim for. The rest is a write-off.

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.
