The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf outlook for Dolphinarium.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent waves. There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer from now until the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. We’re looking at a solid two weeks of small, weak, and messy conditions. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 3 ft at best, and the period is short, under 8 seconds, so there’s no power or shape to the waves. The combined energy is in the weak range, with values like 80 and 74, and it drops down to as low as 2. That’s puddle status.
The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing straight into the waves, making things choppy and unrideable. There are a few mornings with glassy or clean conditions, like on Wednesday the 5th and Saturday the 8th of August, but the swell is so small – 2 ft – that even with a smooth surface, there’s nothing to ride. The water temperature is unspecified, but it’s about average for the time of year.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. We finally see a pulse of energy. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 243 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SW, which should clean things up nicely. This is the standout, but it’s a long way off and the forecast is less certain. For a beginner spot like Dolphinarium, 4 ft could be a bit pushy, but with the right wind, it might offer some fun, crumbly waves. Don’t get your hopes up too high for anything before that.
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.
