The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty flat and uninspiring run ahead. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy conditions. The first session worth paddling out for isn’t until Thursday the 30th of July, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about. We're looking at a lot of days where you might be better off doing something else.
The standout window, if you could even call it that, kicks off Thursday morning the 30th of July at Dolphinarium. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell. Early doors, we’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze. Swell is tiny, only 3 ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The overall wave energy is weak (62). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. It's a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so if you're out there, just keep an eye out.
After Thursday morning, things go downhill fast. The winds turn onshore and choppy for the afternoons, and the swell just gets smaller. Friday the 31st of July morning looks similar to Thursday – small 3 ft WNW groundswell, glassy, but again, nothing special.
After that, it’s a desert. From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Friday the 14th of August, every single session is rated as poor. The swell drops to 2 ft, 1 ft, and even 1.0 ft by the second week. There are a few glassy mornings scattered in there, but the waves are just too small to do anything on. The combined energy of all swells is virtually zero, dropping to just 6 at its weakest.
The best of the worst might be the early mornings on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August, where it’s glassy but with a laughable 2 ft and 1 ft of swell. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, if you’re wanting to surf, the best bet is to get on it Thursday morning the 30th of July or a little window on Friday morning the 31st of July. Small, clean, but it’s all we’ve got. After that, it’s a long, flat wait until the very last morning on Friday the 14th of August, where we see a slight pulse of 3 ft WNW swell with clean offshore SW winds. It’s a glimmer, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on the charts.
Stay patient, or take up a new hobby for a fortnight.
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.
