The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Well, let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dolphinarium is a tough one. There’s no real stand-out swell to get excited about, and most days are plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds that’ll leave the surface chopped. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first solid chance of anything surfable comes on Wednesday, July 30 morning. Swell’s from the NW at 3ft, period 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s about as clean as it gets here, even if the waves are ordinary. The combined energy is weak (77). It’s a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to NW swell, and the optimum direction matches. Keep an eye on crowds, as they’re possible here.
After that, it’s a long, dry stretch. From Thursday July 31 right through to Tuesday August 12, the surf is consistently poor. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell barely pushes past 3ft. The combined energy stays low, mostly between 15 and 98. There’s a glimmer on Friday August 7 morning – cross-off wind from the SSW at 6 mph, with 3ft NW swell and a clean surface – but it’s still just ordinary surf. The combined energy is only 53.
The last chance for something half-decent is Wednesday August 12 morning. Swell from the WNW at 3ft, period 8 seconds, with a light cross-off wind from the SW at 3 mph. The surface is clean, and the combined energy nudges up to 98 – still weak, but the best it gets. This is the standout in a very flat period.
Honestly, there’s no day here that’ll have you calling in sick. The best you’ll do is small, clean, mushy waves for the beginners. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
