The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We're looking at a long gap of small, messy conditions before anything remotely worth paddling out for shows up. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 24th of July right through to late Saturday the 1st of August, the surf is tiny and the wind is mostly on it or cross-shore, just chopping everything up. Swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (56 to 280), and the wave heights are barely climbing past 3 ft to 5 ft on the 25th, with a short period of 8 seconds. It's not worth your time.
The only real glimmer, and I mean the *only* one, is on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. Dolphinarium will see a tiny bump of 3 ft from the WNW, but the wind goes glassy. That light air and glassy surface will make it look clean. Don't get your hopes up though – the combined swell energy is a weak 61, and the period is a short 7 seconds. It's a "surfable but very ordinary" kind of morning. For a beginner, those tiny, clean conditions might be okay for a practice session, but for anyone else, it's a pretty low-energy affair. The only other day that barely scrapes a mention is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, where we get a similar 3 ft from the WNW and a light cross-off breeze, but again, with weak energy (64) and a short period (7 seconds), it's nothing to write home about.
So, there's no real standout here. It's a long, flat, and choppy run. Hang tight, the forecasts can always change.
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.
