The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Dolphinarium over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it’s a tough read. This spot’s only really suited for beginners anyway, and the ocean’s just not playing ball for a good chunk of the forecast.
The water’s sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a desert, honestly. There’s a big, quiet stretch right from the start. From Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to the morning of Friday the 25th, we’re looking at tiny, weak, and confused swells. The wave energy is barely a whisper, with combined swell energy values mostly under 100 (24 to 94). Winds are mostly side-shore or onshore, making things choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real sniff of anything comes on the morning of Saturday, the 25th of July. We get a bit of a lift in the swell to about 5ft out of the WNW, with an 8-second period, and the combined swell energy jumps to 351. The wind is cross-offshore from the SW, which would keep the surface clean. It’s the standout of the whole forecast, but even then, the report calls it “marginal”. It’s the only time you’d even consider it.
After that Saturday morning window, it’s a long, slow fade. The swells drop back down to the 2ft to 4ft range for the rest of the run, with short periods (5 to 8 seconds) and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy values are all low, mostly well under 100. There are a couple of mornings with glassy conditions, like Tuesday the 28th of July and Monday the 3rd of August, but the swell is just too weak – about 2ft – to push any decent shape. The only other spot that gets a “surfable” nod is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, with about 2ft and glassy conditions, but it’s still unremarkable.
So, to put it plainly: if you’re a beginner and absolutely desperate, keep an eye on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That’s your best shot. For everyone else, this stretch is a write-off. There are long gaps of several days with absolutely nothing to recommend. It happens.
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.
