The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's keep it real: the next 16 days at Dolphinarium are mostly a bust. We're looking at a long, dry stretch of near-flat conditions. The first wave that's even worth mentioning doesn't roll in until Friday, 18 September, leaving us with a solid 13-day gap of nothing worth paddling for.

The water's at 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so at least the wait is comfortable.

From Saturday 5 September through to the morning of Thursday 17 September, it's a flat spell. Swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with weak combined energy (4 to 75). Winds are often onshore or cross-on, making things choppy and messy. A few mornings go glassy or clean, like Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th, Thursday 10th, and Friday 11th, but with tiny swell and a period of 6 to 8 seconds, there's just no power. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot like Dolphinarium, this kind of blank run is pretty normal.

The only glimmer of hope is the morning of Friday 18 September. We see a 3 ft NW groundswell creeping in, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate at 85, and the wind is glassy from the SSW. It's surfable but ordinary. The swell direction from the NW is a mismatch for Dolphinarium, which wants it from the opposite direction to really work. This one's a small, weak wave for the desperate, but nothing to get excited about.

After that, it fades back to near-flat through the weekend and into the following week. So to sum it up: you've got two weeks of waiting for one average morning. Not our finest outlook.

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.
