G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this stretch is a tough one. The next couple of weeks are flat and uninspiring, with only small, weak swell and mostly messy winds. We’re looking at a long dry spell where the surf is barely worth paddling out for.
The first real shot at something rideable kicks off on Tuesday morning, July 7th. Dolphinarium will see a tiny 4ft swell out of the WNW, with period around 8 seconds. The energy is weak, sitting at 149. The wind is cross-offshore and light, so it will be clean, but the waves are small and pretty ordinary—surfable if you’re just wanting a paddle, but nothing to write home about. Crowds are possible here, and for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s okay. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
From there, it’s a grind. The swell stays between 3ft and 4ft, with periods mostly in the 6 to 8-second range, meaning short-period, weak swell. Energy readings hover around 50 to 149—that’s weak to moderate at best. Mornings offer a bit of hope with light cross-offshore breezes keeping things clean, like on Thursday July 9th and Friday July 10th, but afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore winds. It’s not good.
We hit a real low point from Saturday July 11th through Monday July 13th, with swell dropping to 1ft to 2ft and energy down to single digits and low 20s. That’s barely a ripple. Glassy conditions on Saturday July 11th morning (2ft, period 6 seconds) and Monday July 13th morning (2ft, clean) are about the only saving graces, but the waves are tiny and weak.
The outlook doesn’t improve much in the second week. Mornings on Wednesday July 15th and Thursday July 16th offer clean conditions again, with 3ft to 3ft swell and light winds, but still only ordinary quality. By Friday July 17th morning, we see a slight uptick to 3ft with a bit more energy (107) and clean conditions, but it’s nothing special. After that, it peters out again.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is probably Tuesday morning July 7th or Friday morning July 17th, but even then, it’s small and ordinary. For beginners, the tiny waves might be okay, but for anyone else, it’s a flat spell. Don’t hold your breath.
Stay patient, the ocean might throw something better down the line.

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.
