The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real options on the table until the end of the month.
The first solid chance of a wave doesn't roll in until Saturday the 25th at Dolphinarium. For the rest of the week, it's flat, weak, and messy. You're looking at about 8 days of nothing worthwhile. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a nice thing to jump into at least.
So, the standout. On Saturday the 25th of July, the morning session at Dolphinarium is the only show in town. We're expecting a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 6 mph. The wave energy is moderate (219), and the locals are a bit inconsistent here, but it's the only window of decent surf. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it won't be anything too powerful, but it'll be rideable. The afternoon turns into a direct onshore from the NW, turning it to slop, so get your fix in the morning. Even then, it's not a classic – the swell direction is from the WNW, not the NW optimum, so it's a bit of a compromise.
For the rest of the forecast, it's a write-off. Small, weak, and onshore. There's a tiny window on the morning of Tuesday the 28th with glassy conditions, but the swell is a paltry 2ft, and the energy is weak (51). It's surfable, but barely. All in all, if you're desperate, you might get a few fun ones on the 25th morning, but don't expect much else.
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.
