Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Dolphinarium.
It’s going to be a frustrating couple of weeks. From Friday, July 3rd, all the way to Saturday, July 18th, we’re looking at a massive gap with nothing worthwhile to surf. No good options at all.
The swell is tiny, coming out of the WNW with short periods from 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, bouncing around from 15 to 165 – that’s very little power. Most days the wind is onshore, cross-onshore, or side-shore, messing up the surface. A few mornings do have clean, glassy conditions, but there’s just no swell to work with.
Water temperature is about 81°, which is roughly 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels nice if you’re just floating.
The only break in the area is Dolphinarium, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but with the swell so small and the wind so wrong, there’s nothing doing. You might get a few “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” on the mornings of Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and Wednesday the 15th of July. But we’re talking about 3ft to 4ft of weak, short-period WNW swell – not enough to get excited about.
For this area, long flat spells are pretty normal when the stars don’t align. Keep your expectations low and hope the forecast changes. For now, it’s a no-go.
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.
