The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been looking at the predictions for our local scene. Gotta be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty thin. There’s a big gap of nothing much happening until the very end of July. We’re talking a dry spell from now, Tuesday the 21st of July, all the way through the week.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Saturday morning, the 25th of July. That’s the pick of the bunch in the whole 16-day window. For a spot like Dolphinarium, which is a fairly consistent, beginner-friendly break, we’ll see a real bump in energy. The swell comes in at 5 feet from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a moderate wave energy of 307 – a big step up from the weak stuff we’ve been dealing with. The wind is a clean, light SW breeze at 9 mph blowing cross-offshore, so the faces will be clean. It’s a Saturday, so expect some company (crowds are possible here), but for a beginner wave, this is as good as it gets. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 84°.
After that peak, it’s a quick drop-off. The next morning, Sunday the 26th, has a moment of flat calm with glassy conditions and a tiny 3-foot NW swell, but the energy is weak (59) and the waves are just ordinary. After that, we’re back into a long stretch of poor surf with weak, choppy conditions. The early mornings around August 2nd and 3rd offer a few glassy windows, but the swell is tiny and has no push. Honestly, it’s a grim run from the 27th through to the 5th of August, with not a single session worth chasing.
So, the bottom line: Saturday the 25th is your one and only standout. It’s a clean, fun-sized day for a beginner or a longboard. Everything else is a hard pass until the forecast changes. Keep your eyes 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.
