The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch of the coast is going to be a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead, so don’t bother rushing to get your wettie on just yet.

The first real chance of anything remotely rideable doesn’t show up until Monday the 31st of August. Even then, it’s barely a pulse. The swell at Dolphinarium is only around 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds and combined energy of just 101 (weak). The morning of the 31st is glassy, and the water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, but honestly, the waves are poor and ordinary. Not worth the paddle.

The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. After that Monday morning, we’re back to tiny, weak, and choppy slop for days on end. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons, and the swell is constantly under 2ft with periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The energy numbers hover in the teens and twenties (12 to 56), which is basically nothing. There are a few glassy mornings – like Wednesday the 2nd of September, the 6th, and the 9th – but the swell is just too small to do anything with. You’d be bobbing around on a lake.

Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Sometimes the ocean just goes quiet, and that’s what we’re looking at. The consistency is so low it’s not worth the drive. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and go do something else.

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.
