The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
The only wave that’s worth even a mention is at Dolphinarium, and even that’s a serious "maybe". We’ve got a long gap of nothing useful until Saturday morning, July 25th. That morning, the swell bumps up to a tiny 3 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 117 (moderate), which is the most we’ll see. The real kicker is the wind – it’s a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about normal for this time of year. For a beginner-friendly spot, it’s the only window where you might get a few fun little waves without it being blown out. There’s a chance of crowds on a Saturday, so expect some company.
After that Saturday morning, it’s back to tiny, onshore garbage. Sunday the 26th through to Monday, August 3rd, is a long run of nothing. Swells stay under 3 ft, the wind is mostly onshore from the north and northwest, and the combined energy rarely gets past 83. The waves are either too small, too choppy, or blown straight flat. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on July 20th and July 31st, but the swell is only 1 ft and 2 ft respectively – not enough to push a surfable wave.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, Saturday morning July 25th is your only real shot, and it’s a very small one. The rest is a write-off for a paddle. If you’re desperate for a session, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.
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.
