The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at what’s on the table for us.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead at the Dolphinarium. We’re looking at a long 16-day window, but the first few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 27th through Saturday the 30th, it’s just not happening – tiny, weak swell, and the wind is all over the shop. You’d be wasting your time. There’s a bit more size coming in on Sunday the 30th with a 6ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a messy cross-onshore wind with a risk of thunderstorms making it poor.
The first real chance to wet a line looks like Monday morning, the 31st of August. The swell drops back to 4ft from the NW, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, it’s going to be clean. There’s a bit of push, but it’s nothing special. The water here is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning is also worth a look. The swell is a bit smaller at 3ft from the WNW, but we get glassy conditions with a light northerly. The energy is on the low side, so you’ll be hunting for corners, but it’ll be clean and uncrowded (the spot is only *sometimes* busy). This spot is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, and the optimum swell direction is from the NW, so Monday morning’s 4ft from the NW is actually the best alignment in the whole forecast.
For a standalone, highlight pick, I’d put my money on the morning of Monday, the 31st of August. It’s the best combo of a favourable 4ft NW swell with clean, cross-offshore wind. But keep your expectations in check – it’s not going to be pumping. After that morning, the options string out into small, glassy mornings right through to the 11th of September, but the swell energy is weak. If you’re a beginner or just want a quiet paddle, those glassy early sessions on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of September with clean, calm conditions will be your best bet for a stress-free session on tiny rollers.
Stay patient. It’s a flat spell, but the glassy mornings will reward the dedicated.

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.
