Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dolphinarium over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got to be straight with you about the Dolphinarium. The outlook over the next 16 days is a tough one.
We're looking at a long stretch of very small, weak swell. The wave energy is negligible, barely cracking double digits at times, and the highest combined energy we see is only 91 (weak). The swell is coming from the WNW, which isn't ideal for the break, as it really needs a good NW swell to get going. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 82°, but that's about the only bright spot.
The truth is, from now through the start of the second week, we're stuck with tiny, weak waves. The mornings sometimes offer clean conditions with a light cross-off or glassy wind, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The afternoons are consistently chopped up by a moderate onshore breeze. It's a classic case of no surf on offer.
We don't see a single standout here. The whole 16-day window is a bust. The swell is always under 3 ft, with a short period of 6-8 seconds, meaning there's no power or shape. For a beginner spot, this is just flat. For anyone else, it's not worth a second look. Even the cleanest, glassy mornings on the 11th and 12th of July are only offering 1 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period slop. Not a wave you'd paddle out for.
Given the persistent lack of swell and the poor surf quality, this setup looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle or a kite surf session than a surf session. There's simply nothing to recommend here.
Stay patient, the forecasts can always change for the better.
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.
