The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it's a flat spell to start. We're looking at a long gap of nothing but small, weak dribble from Wednesday the 15th right through until the end of the first week. The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is a touch above average for this time of year – a nice anomaly for the skin, but that won't help the waves.
The only real chatter comes from Dolphinarium, and it's a long wait. For almost ten days, it's just tiny, weak swell with poor cross-on or onshore winds in the afternoons. There are a few glassy mornings around the 18th, 19th, and 20th, but the swell is barely 2 ft with a short period of 7 seconds and combined energy reading just 32 (weak). Not worth paddling out for.
The first sign of life arrives on the morning of Friday the 24th. We get a bit of a bump to 4 ft from the WNW (8 seconds), with a moderate cross-off wind. The energy jumps to 204 (moderate), but it's still described as marginal. The afternoon on the 24th is a no-go with choppy cross-shore wind.
The standout – and it's a genuine one – is the morning of Saturday the 25th. This is the pick of the entire forecast. We've got a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW (9 seconds) with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW. The combined energy is 386 (moderate) and the conditions are described as "good surf". This is the only session in the whole 16 days that looks properly fun. It's a beginner-friendly size, but the quality will be there for a cruiser. Just watch out for the crowds, as Dolphinarium can get busy sometimes.
After that, it fades back into nothing. The afternoon of the 25th turns onshore, and the following days drop back to tiny, poor-quality surf. The morning of the 30th offers a tiny 3 ft WNW swell with clean conditions, but it's weak with only 66 energy. It's a "surfable" but very ordinary option.
So, the call is simple: if you can wait, the morning of the 25th is the only real window. Everything else is a write-off.
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.
