The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dolphinarium.
To be brutally honest, mate, the next week and a half is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple worth getting out of bed for. You’ll be staring at a whole lot of days with nothing doing. The first real whisper of anything comes on Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s just a tiny bump. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the boardies will be on.
Thursday the 30th morning offers up a bit of hope with a clean, glassy surface at Dolphinarium. We’re talking a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at just 82, so it’s not going to be firing. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The glassy wind is a massive positive, making for clean faces even if the waves are small.
Friday the 31st morning is a carbon copy: glassy conditions again, with a 2ft swell from the WNW, and the same weak energy (66). Again, surfable but nothing to write home about.
Further out, after a long gap, things look a little more promising, though we’re getting into the second week and it’s less certain. The morning of Saturday the 8th of August has a light, clean cross-off breeze at Dolphinarium, with a 2ft swell from the WNW. The period picks up to 9 seconds, which adds a touch of shape. The energy is still weak at 71.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 9th of August morning. It’s the best on offer across the whole 16 days. The clean, cross-off wind is back, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and an 8-second period. The combined energy finally ticks into triple digits at 123, so there’s a bit more push behind it. It’s still small, but it’s the most energy we’ll see, and with the wind behaving, it’ll be the cleanest surf of the whole period. Don’t expect much size, but for a grovel session, it’ll be your best shot.
Beyond that, Monday the 10th morning offers a similar, albeit weaker, setup. But for now, keep your eyes on that Sunday.

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.
