The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you; the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Dolphinarium. The waves are small and the conditions are usually messy, but there’s a couple of windows where it might just be worth a paddle. Overall, the forecast shows a lot of tiny, short-period swell from the WNW, with the combined energy of all swells directed here staying weak for most of the run, often in the low double digits. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F with an anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start off on Thursday the 3rd of September with nothing to ride. Friday morning the 4th has a tiny 1ft swell from the NW with a 5-second period, but the wind is light cross-offshore, making it look clean. The energy is a weak 7, so it’s a bit of a long shot for a log.
The first real, albeit very ordinary, chance comes on Thursday the 10th of September. The morning session sees a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. The combined energy bumps up to 110 (moderate). It’s surfable, but just barely. The afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze.
Friday the 11th of September morning is similar, with a clean 3ft swell from the WNW, 7-second period, and light cross-offshore wind. Energy is 57. Again, it’s rideable but nothing to write home about.
The rest of the 16-day window is a real struggle. We get a few glassy mornings here and there, like Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, but the swell is tiny, under 2ft, and the energy is weak. The afternoons are consistently blown out by a moderate cross-onshore or onshore breeze from the NNW. On Wednesday the 16th of September, the swell height tries to push to 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy hits 101 and 103 in the afternoon, but the wind is onshore, making it a messy, blown-out mess. That one is more for the kite surfers, as the beach setup with that wind and small swell would be more fun on a kite than a paddle board.
Honestly, don’t hold your breath. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 10th of September, but even then, it’s a very ordinary wave. Hang in there and see if the forecasts change, because it’s a long dry spell.
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.
