The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Dolphinarium are looking pretty flat and quiet. There’s no real swell on the cards, and the conditions are mostly marginal. Hang tight, because the good news is it’s going to be a short, dry spell of small surf, and the forecasts can always shift.
The first chance to get wet comes on Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a weak swell pushing in from the northwest, around 4 ft, but the wind is cross-on from the west at 6 mph, making for choppy, poor conditions. The combined energy is only moderate at 133, so it’s not going to have any punch. Water temperature is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Tuesday the 1st of September sees the swell drop to 2 ft, also from the northwest. The morning window is the real standout here – glassy, no wind, clean as a whistle. The swell is small, but if you’ve got a log, you’ll find some fun little lines. The combined energy is weak (54), so don’t expect much power. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so get out early.
After that, the news stays quiet. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, the swell hangs around 1.0 ft to 3 ft, mostly from the west-northwest. There are a few glassy mornings – like the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th – but the waves are tiny and the energy is weak (most readings are under 100). The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft with a period of 8 seconds and a glassy surface. The combined energy is moderate at 117, so you might get a few waist-high runners if you’re patient. But it’s still very ordinary.
Honestly, if you’re a beginner, the Tuesday morning glass-off on the 1st is your best bet. For anyone else, it’s a long wait for anything with real push. The second week, especially after the 9th, is just flat and not worth chasing.
All in all, there’s no big swell coming, but the few glassy windows with tiny waves will keep a longboarder happy. Don’t hold your breath for anything overhead.
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.
