Alright, folks, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring down the charts for this stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for. The first hint of any surfable waves doesn’t show up until Monday morning, July 6th, and even then it’s barely a pulse.
Let’s talk about the only break on offer: Dolphinarium. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but don’t let that fool you. For the whole 16-day window, most days are a write-off. The wind is a constant pain – mostly cross-on or cross-off, and the swell is tiny and weak.
The only times that even get a nod from me are a few mornings where the winds go light or glassy and the waves are just about surfable. Monday July 6th morning shows 3ft from the WNW with a short 7-second period and clean conditions (combined swell energy of just 75 – that’s weak stuff). Not worth rushing for. Tuesday July 7th morning bumps up a touch to 4ft WNW, period 8 seconds, and clean (moderate energy of 153). Still, it’s nothing to write home about.
The one standout that might actually get me out of bed is Friday July 10th morning. We’ve got glassy conditions, a glassy wind from the NW at 3 mph, and small 3ft WNW swell with 7-second period. The combined energy is only 56, so it’s weak, but that glassy surface will make it look better than it is. For a beginner, those tiny clean waves could be fun if you’ve got nothing else.
After that, the swell just fades away. Saturday July 11th through to the end of the period is a flat spell – waves under 2ft with short periods and mostly onshore winds. There is a little bump on Sunday July 19th morning with 3ft WNW swell at 8 seconds and clean winds (moderate energy of 120), but it’s two weeks out, so treat it as a maybe.
Water temp at Dolphinarium is 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3°F above average, so you’ll feel that bathwater warmth.
Bottom line: If you’re a beginner wanting a tiny, clean wave, Friday morning July 10th is your best bet. For everyone else, save your energy. The setup here just isn’t delivering. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean is having a nap.
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.
