The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this one’s a tough read. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a long, quiet stretch for Dolphinarium. The swell is tiny, the energy is barely there, and we’ve got a whole lot of nothing happening on the wave front. It’s the kind of forecast that’ll have you checking the camera more than waxing the board.
The first real chance to even paddle out comes on Saturday the 25th of July, and honestly, it’s not much to write home about. The morning shows a small bump of swell coming from the WNW at 4 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy finally nudges into triple digits (138), but it’s a modest pulse, not a slam dunk. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. Still, the wave quality is described as “surfable but very ordinary” – you’ll get a few grovelly rides, but don’t expect any barrels.
The next flicker of hope comes on Monday the 27th of July. The afternoon sees a bit more size from the WNW at 3 ft, with a period of 9 seconds and energy climbing to 184. That’s better, but the wind is onshore from the NNW at 15 mph, making it pretty lumpy. The mornings are a little cleaner, but the swell is dropping back. It’s a trade-off, and neither side is a winner.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums. For the remainder of July and into the first of August, the swell stays under 3 ft, the period is short (6-7 seconds), and the energy is weak (20-40 range). The water temperature is sitting at a warm 82°, which is about 2° above normal for this time of year – a touch toastier than usual, but it’s the only thing that’s above average here.
The best you’re going to get is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August: glassy conditions, a tiny 2 ft swell from the WNW, and a period of 7 seconds. It’s a log-paddle session at best.
Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Dolphinarium, and with no real swell on offer, you’ll likely have the place to yourself. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the NW, but with this little energy, even the longboarders are going to be working hard.
Honestly, this is a 16-day gap between real sessions. The forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
