The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this next stretch is a tough one for paddlers. The swell is tiny and the energy is weak for the entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real standouts on offer.
The first real chance to even get wet doesn’t come until Saturday, the 29th of August. The swell is still pretty small, only about 2ft, but it’s coming from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is right on the edge of being worth it at 51 – still weak. The morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore wind from the SW, so the surface will be smooth. This is a spot for beginners, so the small size is actually fine. It’s fairly consistent, but expect some company – crowds are possible here.
For the rest of the period, it’s a write-off. The swell is consistently under 2ft, the period is short, and the energy is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Even the glassy mornings on Monday the 24th, Wednesday the 26th, and Sunday the 30th are just too small to do anything with. The waves are mostly poor, and the onshore winds in the afternoon are going to chop up whatever is there.
The forecast through the first week of September is just more of the same. Tiny, weak, and not worth paddling for. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap, and this is one of those times. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this flat for long.
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.
