The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through it. For Dolphinarium over the next 16 days, the pickings are slim. There’s a long stretch of tiny, messy surf, and only one real window that’s worth talking about.
The best bet is the morning of Sunday, September 27th. You’ve got a little 1.0m NW groundswell, period around 7 seconds, and the wind is dead calm from the SSE – glassy conditions. Combined energy is a moderate 107, so there’s some life. The water is running at 30°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The break is beginner-friendly and fairly consistent, but crowds can show up sometimes. This is the standout window.
Before that, from the 13th through the 26th of September, it’s pretty grim. Waves stay tiny, mostly 0.1m to 0.9m, with onshore winds and choppy surface. A few glassy mornings pop up around the 16th and 17th, but the swell is weak and the energy is low (in the 50s to 70s range). Not worth getting wet for. The break faces NW, and the optimum direction is NW, so the angle is fine – just not enough push.
By Monday the 28th, the swell fades and the onshore wind returns, so that’s that.
Bottom line: the morning of the 27th is your only real chance. Everything else is flat and messy. Stay tuned – forecasts can shift.

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.
