The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Dolphinarium are a tough stretch. The forecast shows a long run of poor surf conditions with no real standout sessions. For a beginner-friendly spot that is fairly consistent, this is a bummer, but it happens. The outlook is pretty flat, with weak wave energy and small, short-period swell.
The best we can say is that the first week is a write-off. From Saturday, August 1st right through to Sunday, August 16th, the swell is tiny – never cracking 3ft – and the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, ranging from a low of 14 to a high of 86, which is barely a ripple. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with a few rare moments of glassy or clean conditions, but the swell just isn’t there to capitalise.
The only real glimmer comes on Wednesday morning, August 5th. The wind goes glassy at Dolphinarium, with a 2ft swell from the WNW. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be ground-breaking, but if you’re a beginner wanting a quiet paddle and maybe a few knee-high lumps, that’s your window. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Crowds are possible at times, but with conditions this poor, it’s unlikely to be busy. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell direction is NW, which is what the spot likes, but the size and energy just aren’t there. Keep your board in the bag and watch the forecast – it can’t stay this quiet forever.
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.
