The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on with the surf.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat and quiet outlook for the next couple of weeks. The waves are small, the energy is low, and for the most part, it’s just not doing much. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell with periods that are short and wind that’s mostly on or cross-shore. There’s a gap of several days with nothing really worth paddling out for, starting right now.
The only spot on the radar is Dolphinarium. The water here is 86°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s noticeably warm, so you won’t need a thick suit.
We’ve got a long wait for anything that even hints at a wave. The first real glimmer comes on Saturday, 29th August in the morning. The swell is still tiny, only 3 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of only 72 – that’s very weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, so it’s clean. They’re calling it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
The rest of the period is a bust. Even if you see a few moments of glassy conditions on 24th and 25th August, the swell is just 1 ft to 2 ft. It’s not enough to push you around. After that, the end of the first week into the second week offers nothing that’ll get your heart rate up.
So, bottom line: there’s no true standout here. The 29th of August is the only day with a pulse, and even then it’s weak. It’s a lean period, but forecasts can change. Hang tight.

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.
