The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
It’s looking like a real quiet stretch, with only a few moments where you might find something to surf. Most of the 16 days are flat or near-flat, with poor conditions dominating.
The first chance to get a wave comes around Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, but it’s not pretty. The swell is tiny, around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is messy. Friday afternoon is particularly rough with a cross-on breeze making it choppy.
Sunday the 16th morning shapes up as the standout. At Dolphinarium, the swell is about 3ft from the WNW, with a light cross-offshore wind keeping things clean. Water temp is 86°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so no need for a wetsuit. The combined wave energy is moderate at 136, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so the waves won’t have much power. It’s a beginner spot, so if you’re just starting out, this is your morning. Crowds can show up, so expect a few others.
From Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore again, locking it into poor surf. Tuesday the 18th morning offers a brief glassy window with 3ft swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
From Thursday the 20th all the way to Saturday the 29th, it’s a long, flat spell. Swells drop to 2ft or less, energy is weak, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on. The only moment of calm is the glassy morning on Saturday the 29th, but with waves at just 0.7ft, you’ll be floating more than surfing.
Bottom line: if you want the best of a bad run, hit it on Sunday the 16th morning. The rest of the 16 days is a classic blank period for this area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can always shift, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
