The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak energy. The first chance of anything resembling a surf comes on Saturday, 25th July, but even then it’s a tough sell. The swell is only 4ft out of the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 129. The morning will have clean conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze, but the waves themselves are just ordinary.
The real standout, and the only date I’d bother circling on the calendar, is Monday, 27th July. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is a huge plus, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 93, so it’s not powerful, but that glassy surface will make it look and feel way better than the forecast suggests. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, Dolphinarium, so it’s perfect for a longboard or a foamie. The break is fairly consistent, but you can expect a crowd as it’s a popular spot.
The next mention is a long way off. On Saturday, 1st August, the morning is glassy again with a 3ft WNW swell and 8-second period. The combined energy is 114. Again, it’s not going to blow your mind, but with zero wind, it’ll be clean. The crowds will be thick, though.
Honestly, after that 27th, it’s a lot of nothing. There are days of low-energy, onshore slop. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. For a spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal. Hang in there, and keep an eye on the charts.
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.
