The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dolphinarium over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a flat spell, with only a few moments that are just barely worth a paddle. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come around until Thursday the 10th of September, and even then it’s small and average.

For the first week, from Thursday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 9th, the surf is tiny and the conditions are mostly poor. The swell is a measly 1 ft to 2 ft from the WNW, with weak energy (between 7 and 43). The winds are a mixed bag of cross and onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s a few glassy mornings (like Sunday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th) but with barely any swell, it’s not really surfable. Just a lot of flat, clean water.

The first real opportunity sneaks in on Thursday the 10th of September. The morning sees a tiny 3 ft WNW swell with a period of 7 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind, making it clean. The energy is still weak (59). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets a bit more size at 3 ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore and ruins it.

The next morning, Friday the 11th, is glassy with a 2 ft WNW swell, but the energy is low (47). It’s clean, but there’s just not enough push to get excited about.

The standout of the entire period, if you can call it that, is Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning offers a 3 ft WNW swell, glassy conditions, and a moderate energy reading of 104. This is the biggest, cleanest window in the whole 16 days. The swell direction (WNW) is a bit off from the optimum (NW), but the glassy wind makes it the best bet for a slow, small-wave session on a beginner-friendly break. The 8-second period is short, so don’t expect any real power. Just small, clean rollers.

The afternoon of the 16th and the rest of the week stays small and mostly messy with onshore winds, so that Wednesday morning is your only real shot. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.

So, to sum it up: there’s not much on offer. A few small, clean windows but nothing substantial. The best wave is Wednesday the 16th of September, morning session, glassy, with waist-high, weak surf. It’s a beginner’s playground, not a charger’s dream.

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.
