G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a real honest look at what’s coming down the line for the Dolphinarium. I’ll be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim overall. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and there’s not a single day that you’d call a standout. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but that’s about the only good news.

We’ve got a long gap before anything even slightly worth mentioning. The first real sniff of something surfable comes on Wednesday morning, 15 July, with a weak 3ft swell from the WNW, period of 8 seconds, and a combined energy of just 74 (weak). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the best you’ll see for a while.

Thursday morning, 16 July, offers a similar 3ft WNW swell, period still 8 seconds, and the energy ticks up a little to 106 (moderate). The wind goes glassy early – that’s a rare treat for cleanliness, but the waves are still only just surfable, nothing to write home about.

After that, it’s back to a long run of poor conditions. The swell drops to 2ft or less, the period stays short around 6-7 seconds, and the afternoons are blown out by a cross-onshore breeze. The mornings are often glassy or clean, but there’s just no push in the water. This flat spell drags on through the end of the third week of July.

The next time you see a bit of life is Saturday morning, 25 July, with a 3ft NW swell, 7-second period, and energy at 67 (weak). The wind is light cross-off from the SSW, so it’s clean, but again, it’s just surfable – very ordinary. Then Sunday morning, 26 July, gives a 3ft WNW swell, 7 seconds, and a glassy start, but the energy is only 61 (weak). Same story.

Overall, there’s no standout session here. The swell is too small and weak for anyone except a beginner on a foamie, and even then, the quality is poor. If you’re a kitesurfer, the afternoon breezes might give you something, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run. The area is known for these quiet periods, so it’s not a surprise, but it’s still a bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be leaving the board in the car.

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.
