The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the local waters.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of quiet conditions ahead. The first day with any real surf on offer is Saturday, July 25th, and even that’s a bit of a tough sell.
First up, Dolphinarium. The water's warm, sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only thing going for it right now. On Saturday morning, July 25th, we get a pulse of 5ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (343). It’s a bit of a mush burger, honestly. The wind is a cross-offshore from the SW at 9 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but the wave quality is marginal. This is a beginner-friendly break, and it’s fairly consistent, but the swell direction is from the WNW, while the spot really wants it from the NW. For a beginner, it might be a little much, as the swell is over 5ft. After that morning, it goes downhill fast. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, and then we’re looking at days of nothing.
From Sunday, July 26th, all the way through to at least the end of the first week of August, the surf is just not there. We’re talking about a solid 10-day stretch with no real recommendations. The swell drops to under 3ft, the period shortens, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on. The conditions are consistently poor, with the combined energy dropping to two-digit numbers (as low as 12), which is about as weak as it gets. There’s a glassy morning here and there on July 28th, 31st, and August 1st, but with swell heights of 2ft to 2ft, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of anything even close to “surfable” comes on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. The swell is still tiny at 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SW at 9 mph, and the combined energy is still weak (50). The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as I can get. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ll see in the second week.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The breaks are fairly consistent here, so it’s unusual to have such a blank period. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car and hope for a better swell window.
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.
