The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. We’re gonna be straight up with you – this isn’t a classic run of form. The only spot with any real mention is Dolphinarium, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough watch for most of the period.

We kick off on Monday the 24th of August. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (anomaly of 3°). That’s a nice detail for a morning paddle, but the surf won’t back it up. That morning, we’ve got a tiny 2ft NW swell, a period of just 6 seconds, and combined energy is a weak 19. It’s glassy, sure, but with that size and period, it’s basically a lake. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and gets choppy. Tuesday and Wednesday don’t offer much improvement either – we’re talking 1ft to 2ft of weak, short-period WNW swell. The energy levels barely scrape into double digits, and the afternoons get chopped up by the NW breeze.

Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are more of the same – tiny waves, poor conditions. You’d be better off doing something else.

Now, Saturday the 29th of August morning shows a little bit of life. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, period creeps to 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 64. It’s still not a classic, but the winds are light and clean. The report even says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s about as good as it gets this run. The afternoon gets messy again.

Sunday the 30th of August morning is another small window. We see 3ft from the WNW, period of 8 seconds, and the energy finally ticks over into triple digits at 112 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is dead calm, glassy as hell. In theory, those waves will be clean, but they’re still small and lacking any real grunt. It’s a session for a longboard or a foiler, not a proper shortboard.

After that, we slide right back into the doldrums. From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s the same story – flat, weak swell, rarely cracking 2ft, periods stuck around 6 to 8 seconds, and afternoon winds ruining whatever tiny chance there was. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but the swell just isn’t there.

The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is Sunday the 30th of August morning. It’s the one time the energy gets into the moderate range (112) and the wind is glass. For a spot like Dolphinarium that’s exposed to the NW and fairly consistent, that’s your best bet. But don’t expect any barrels – this is beginner-friendly, knee-to-waist high stuff at best. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, so on that Sunday morning you might have a few others with the same idea.

After the 8th of September, the last entry shows a bit of a pulse – 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period and energy at 101 – but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s a tease.

Overall, this is a quiet stretch. The first week is a write-off. The second week has a couple of clean mornings but not enough oomph to get excited about. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a dry spell. Things could change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the bag.

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.
