The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead for Dolphinarium. The window is wide open – 16 days – but we’ve got a long, flat gap right at the start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Friday, July 25th. Even then, the swell is just 5ft from the WNW, period a short 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at best (343). The wind is a cross-off, which is a positive, but the overall surf quality is just not there. It’s a marginal call for a beginner spot, but the water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°.
The pattern doesn’t improve. The rest of July and the first week of August are a real letdown. There are a few flickers of hope – like Tuesday morning, July 28th, with tiny 2ft NW swell and glassy conditions (combined energy a weak 51), and Thursday morning, July 30th, with even smaller 2ft swell and glassy wind (combined energy 48). But these are just ordinary, surfable waves at best, nothing to get excited about. The swell is too small and weak to offer any real punch.
The standout session in this whole period is the morning of Friday, July 31st. The swell is still small at 2ft from the WNW, but the period stretches to 9 seconds – a little more groundswell character – and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is a weak 50, but for a beginner spot, that clean, smooth surface is the best you’ll see. Don’t expect big waves, but it might be the most fun you can have on a small board.
After that, it’s a return to small, weak, and often choppy conditions. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore for most afternoons, and the swell drops to 2ft or 1ft with periods as short as 5 seconds. The combined energy plummets to just 12 by the end of the forecast. For the experienced surfers, there’s nothing here. For the beginners, the glassy mornings are the only real option, but the swell is tiny.
To be honest, this is a classic case of “better to wait for the next forecast.” The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windy afternoons. The blank run is more normal for the area in this kind of pattern.
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.
