The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run ahead. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with not much to get excited about. The first real window of anything worth mentioning doesn’t show up until the 17th of August, and even then, it’s just a fleeting bump. For the first week and a half, from now through the 16th, you’ll be scratching for scraps. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F at Dolphinarium, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice on the skin while you’re bobbing around.

Let’s start with the only spot we’ve got to look at. Dolphinarium is a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to swell from the north-west. The optimum direction here is also north-west, so when something does show up, it’s got the right angle. But the problem is the size. For the first week, we’re looking at ankle-to-knee-high waves, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with a short, weak period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is tiny, typically under 50, which means it’s just not enough to push a decent ride. Wind is a mixed bag, with a few glassy mornings on the 12th and 14th of August that would make it pristine, but there’s nothing to surf on those days.

The best chance for a proper surf comes around the 17th and 18th of August. The swell picks up to a very modest 3 ft to 4 ft from the north-west, with a period of 7 seconds and the combined energy rising to the low 100s. That’s still weak, moderate energy, but it’s the most we’ll see. The morning of the 17th has light cross-shore winds, which is workable, but the afternoons turn choppy with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. This is about as good as it gets, but it’s not a standout. It’s barely a tickle.

After that, it drops right back down again. The 19th onward sees us returning to that 1 ft to 2 ft zone with even less energy, dipping as low as 5 on the 22nd of August. There are a few glassy mornings and light cross-offshore winds, but again, without any swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.

If you’re a kitesurfer, the stronger afternoon winds in the second week might offer some fun, but for a paddle surfer, this is a tough outlook. The forecast can always change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
