Alright, I’m looking at what’s on the table here. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for Dolphinarium. We’ve got a whole 16-day stretch ahead, but don’t hold your breath – the first real moment worth paddling out for doesn’t show until Monday the 6th of July, and even then it’s a struggle.
The biggest problem is the swell direction. This spot is exposed to the NW, and the forecast keeps feeding it WNW and NW swell, which just isn’t the right angle for things to line up properly. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that.
Okay, let’s get into it. Monday morning, July 6th – we’ve got 3ft of WNW swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 75, nothing exciting. The wind is cross-off from the SW at 9 mph, so the surface is clean – the only bright spot. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the best of the entire forecast, and honestly, it’s not saying much. The afternoon turns to junk with cross-on wind.
Tuesday the 7th sees a tiny bump in size to 3ft, period still short at 8 seconds. Morning winds are cross-off, keeping it clean, but the energy is still only moderate (125). Still, poor surf conditions overall – the swell direction just isn’t cooperating. This same pattern drags on through Wednesday and Thursday, with the wave heights hovering around 3ft to 4ft, always with that same short period. The mornings offer clean faces, but the waves are gutless and disorganised.
From Friday the 10th onward, it drops off a cliff. Heights sink to 2ft, then 1ft, periods drop to 6 seconds, and energy values barely reach double digits. It’s flat, it’s weak, and it’s uninspiring. A full week of this dribble runs from the 10th to the 17th of July.
There’s a tiny pulse showing on Sunday the 19th of July with 4ft from the NW and a slightly better period of 7 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 160 – that’s moderate, at least. But look closer, the wind is cross-shore and the swell is from the NW again, not the optimum, so the quality is still marked as poor. Monday the 20th gives a clean morning with 2ft but again, it’s tiny and weak.
So what’s the standout here? There isn’t one. If you’re desperate, Monday morning July 6th is the cleanest, least horrible session – but you’re surfing 3ft weak lines with barely any push. For a beginner, this is safe but boring. For anyone else, it’s a skunk. The rest of the 16 days is a desert. No real size, no proper direction, and just enough wind to ruin the few chances that pop up.

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.
