Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dolphinarium over the next 16 days.
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Looking at the next couple weeks at Dolphinarium, it's going to be pretty quiet for a while. Nothing really happening to get excited about until further out.
We're looking at a big gap of mostly flat conditions. Right up until the 22nd of July, the swell stays tiny – most days under 3 feet – with short, weak periods around 6 or 7 seconds and wave energy all below 150. The wind is mostly cross, cross-on, or onshore, making a mess of things. A couple glassy mornings show up, but with no push, there's nothing worth paddling for. It's a long stretch of waiting.
The one bright spot is Wednesday morning the 22nd of July. That's when we finally see a bump of energy. A clean 4-foot swell from the WNW, with an 8-second period and energy jumping to 224 – moderate power at last. A light cross-off breeze from the SW will keep the surface smooth. The water temp is 82° – a touch warmer than typical for this time of year. The break is beginner-friendly and exposed, so those chest-high sets should be rideable. Just be aware the crowd can be around sometimes.
Thursday the 23rd of July still has knee-to-waist-high leftovers, but the energy is already fading, and the afternoon wind chops it up.
So, honestly, there's only one morning in this whole window that looks worth the effort. Mark your calendar for the 22nd of July. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
