The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for the Dolphinarium. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 84°.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. There’s simply no good surf on offer across the entire 16-day run. The swell is tiny, and the conditions are just not cooperating. It’s a real flat spell.
From Friday, July 31st, right through to Wednesday, August 12th, we’re looking at a long gap with nothing recommended. The swell is a dribble, mostly coming in from the WNW at 1 to 3ft, with periods that are short and weak, mostly between 5 and 8 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper, ranging from just 6 to 86 (weak energy), which tells you everything you need to know about the lack of push.
The wind is a problem too. Some mornings are glassy or clean, like the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, and the morning of Tuesday, August 11th, but there’s no swell to make use of it. Afternoons are mostly ruined by a moderate onshore breeze, making it choppy.
There’s a slight bump in the last couple of days. On Friday, August 14th, the afternoon sees a 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 59 (still weak). The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. Saturday, August 15th, the morning has a 3ft WNW swell with a 7-second period and an energy of 53 (weak), with a light cross-shore wind. The afternoon is similar, with a touch more energy at 61 (weak), but again, cross-onshore winds.
For a beginner spot like Dolphinarium, when it’s this small and messy, even the tiny waves aren’t going to be fun. The best I can say is if you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows are on those glassy mornings, but don’t expect a wave. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows are shut.
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.
