The Lowdown

Alright, my friends, let’s talk straight about Dolphinarium for the next couple of weeks. I’ve looked at the numbers, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and plenty of afternoon wind to mess up the few clean windows we do get.

The water is feeling nice though, running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a small win. But the lack of swell is the big story. We’re looking at a whole lot of knee-high slop.

From the 11th right through the 17th, it's all small stuff, 2ft to maybe 3ft if we’re generous. The energy is weak, and the period is short, so none of it will have any power. There are a few clean-ish mornings with offshore winds, but with waves that small, you’ll need a longboard and a whole lot of patience.

Now for the one moment that might be worth your time: the morning of Monday, August 18th. We get a small bump of the same NW swell, but the wind goes light offshore and cleans it right up. It’s not big, maybe 3ft, but it will be the most rideable and fun it’s going to get. This is the day to make the call. You'll have clean lines and no crowds, since everyone else has given up by then. Just get there early before the afternoon wind ruins the party.

After that, it’s back to the flatness again. Through the 19th and 20th, there’s more glassy mornings, but the swell is just not there. It’s a true test of dedication just to get wet.

We get one more little whisper of swell on the morning of Sunday, August 23rd. Similar story: 2-3ft and clean cross-offshore winds. It’s a last little gasp, but not much to write home about.

The rest of the window just fades away. So, my call is this: if you’ve got to surf, use a high-volume board, keep your expectations real low, and wait for that morning of the 18th. That’s your moment. Otherwise, this is a good time to do anything else. Keep an eye on the charts anyway.

Rusty out.

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.
