Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dolphinarium over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s get real about the surf for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at just one spot here, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a long wait for anything decent. The first couple of days are a write-off – tiny, weak, and choppy. The water’s sitting at 82° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but that’s about the only plus.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday, July 15th in the morning. Dolphinarium will have a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, making it clean. The energy is still weak (80), so it’s more of a longboard or soft-top session than anything to get excited about.

Then, Thursday, July 16th morning shapes up as the best of a mediocre bunch. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm from the W. That’s a big deal for clean conditions. The energy is in the moderate range (112), so you’ll feel a bit more push. This is your window if you’re desperate for a paddle. But honestly, it’s still small and pretty ordinary.

After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’re looking at days of tiny, weak, and onshore slop until Wednesday, July 22nd morning, when a clean 3ft NW swell shows up under a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but still nothing special.

The next real standout doesn’t come until Thursday, July 23rd morning. That’s over a week away. The swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW, and the energy is moderate (117). The wind is clean from the SW, so it will be the best-looking conditions of the entire outlook. But again, it’s not big, just the cleanest of the small stuff.

So the story is: a long, flat spell, then a few small, clean windows that are barely worth a mention. The best genuine chance for a clean, surfable wave is Thursday, July 23rd morning, but even then, keep your expectations low. Crowds are possible here, but with this kind of forecast, I’d be surprised if many show up.

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.
