The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s keep it simple: the surf at Dolphinarium is pretty much a no-go for the next two weeks. Don’t get your hopes up for anything decent.
The first faint glimmer of a wave shows up on Wednesday, September 9th, in the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 88. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are small and weak – just barely surfable. It’s a beginner-friendly 3ft, so your log or foil might get a few grovelly ones.
The water is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s all downhill. The rest of the week and into the next are full of tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, so it’s choppy and poor. There are a few glassy mornings, like on Saturday, September 12th, and Monday, September 14th, but the swell is just too small – 1ft of weak energy. It’s a real lull.
The second week is more of the same: tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore afternoon winds. No standouts, no real opportunities. The best you can hope for is a quick early morning session on a flat board if you’re really keen.
So, the outlook is a long, dry gap from now until that small window on September 9th, and then nothing else of note. Keep the board in the car just in case, but don’t plan a session around it.
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.
