The Lowdown
Alright, let me chew on the numbers here. It's looking pretty bleak for Dolphinarium over the next couple weeks. We've got a long, flat spell stretching out, and there just aren't any good options in this 16-day window. For most of the first week and a half, the waves are tiny, from 1 ft to about 3 ft. The water's sitting at 86°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so the warm water is about the only thing going for it.
We start off today, Monday the 14th, with glassy conditions in the morning but tiny 1 ft waves from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 12. The wind goes onshore in the afternoon, so forget about it. This story basically repeats day after day: tiny surf, poor conditions. There's a slight nudge on Wednesday morning the 16th with 3 ft from the NW, but the energy is still weak (52) and it's just “ordinary” at best. The mornings might be glassy, but it's not enough to wet a board over.
We go through a big gap with no recommendations. The waves stay below 2 ft for days on end. Every afternoon is a write-off with onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s not until the morning of Saturday the 26th of September that things change a bit. The swell bumps to 4 ft from the WNW (energy hits 108, so moderate), but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is okay, but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
The next morning, Sunday the 27th, looks like the best of a bad lot. It'll be clean with 3 ft waves from the WNW and a touch more period at 8 seconds (energy 189). The wind is light cross-offshore from the SW, so while it might be a little weak and fat, it'll be clean. That's probably the only window where you could get something ridable. After that, it drops right back down again.
For a beginner-friendly spot, it's just too small and inconsistent. You might get a few knee-high sliders on the 27th morning, but honestly, I'd wait for a better forecast. It can't stay this quiet forever.

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.
