The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for Dolphinarium. We’ve got a solid two-week stretch staring us down with almost nothing worth paddling out for.
The whole forecast is a long, drawn-out period of tiny, weak swell. Most days the wave height barely tickles 2 ft to 2 ft, and the period is short, between 4 and 7 seconds. That’s windswell at best, with no real energy behind it. The combined energy values are mostly in the teens and twenties, with a couple of days just scraping into the 40s and 50s (54 on the morning of the 1st is the early peak, but it’s still weak). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85° – nothing wild, but pleasant.
The first real flicker of something bigger comes on Thursday the 10th. The morning shows a jump to 4 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy hitting 194 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the window. We get a repeat of that 4 ft WNW on the morning of the 11th too, with energy at 133. The problem? Both days the wind is a mess. On the 10th, the morning has a light cross-shore but the afternoon turns into a moderate cross-onshore, chopping it up. On the 11th, the morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 3 ft and the energy is moderate. It’s surfable, but “very ordinary” is the phrase. The afternoon on the 11th gets ruined by cross-onshore wind again.
The best chance is the morning of the 11th (Friday, September 11th). It’s the only time in the whole forecast where clean conditions line up with the biggest, most consistent swell. The rest of the time? The wind is mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or glassy but with no swell to speak of. The 10th morning is the other contender, but the cross-shore wind will make it bumpy.
For a beginner-friendly spot, that 4 ft swell is pushy but manageable. It’s not too big for a learner, but the short 8-second period means the waves will be a bit crumbly and less powerful. Don’t expect any barrels.
Honestly, it’s a bleak run. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 11th is the only window worth a look. The rest 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.
