The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, checkin' in. Let's break down what we're lookin' at.
To be honest, Dolphinarium is running on empty for the first week. The swell is tiny and weak, coming outta the NW and WNW at 1ft to 3ft, with periods under 8 seconds. The wave energy is pitiful, reading 7 (weak energy) on Thursday the 3rd and barely getting into the double digits by the weekend. The wind is all over the shop—cross and cross-on—so even if there was a ripple, it'd be choppy. We get a few glassy mornings like Monday the 7th, but with no swell, it's just a flat, clean pond. Not worth wetting a suit.
There's a glimmer of hope on Thursday morning, September 10th. The swell bumps to 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. The wave energy hits 110 (moderate energy), and with a light W wind going glassy, it will be clean. It's still only "surfable but very ordinary," so don't get too hyped. It's the best of a bad situation.
After that, we slide back into a flat spell with tiny 1ft to 2ft slop until the very end. The real one to watch, and it's a long way out, is the morning of Friday, September 18th. Swell comes back up to 3ft from the WNW, 8-second period, with a solid 133 (moderate energy) reading. The wind will be light from the NE, leaving it glassy. It's the cleanest and most energetic-looking window of the whole 16 days. Keep it on the radar, but don't count your chickens—long-range forecasts are fickle.
Water temp is 85°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not even need a full suit. Crowds at Dolphinarium are sometimes an issue, but with this outlook, you'll probably have the waves to yourself.
For the beginners, nothing here tops 5ft, so it's safe, but there's nothing to ride. If you're into kiting, the afternoon NW onshores on the 10th might give you a little something, but it's still weak.
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.
