The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this straight – we’ve only got one spot to look at here: Dolphinarium. And I gotta be honest, the forecast for the next couple of weeks is mostly a flat, choppy mess. There’s a long stretch of barely-rideable junk before we finally get a tiny window of something decent.

The whole run starts on Wednesday the 15th of July and it’s pretty grim. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water feels nice, but that’s where the good news ends.

For over a week, from the 15th right through to the morning of Friday the 24th of July, it’s mostly cross-onshore wind messing up tiny, weak swell. Swell heights are mostly under 3ft, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves have no push. The combined energy is low, often under 100 (like 88 on that first afternoon), which is just a tired, weak pulse. A few mornings are clean and cross-offshore, but the swell is so small – 1ft to 2ft – that it’s barely even a ripple. Honestly, you’d be wasting your time. This place is a beginner spot when it’s good, but right now it’s not even that. It’s just flat and choppy.

Alright, now we get to a bit of hope. On the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, things finally come together. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy climbs to 254, which is solid moderate energy. But the real winner here is the wind: light, cross-offshore from the SW, making it clean. This is the one standout in the whole outlook. The surf will be clean, with some push, and perfectly okay for beginners because 5ft is manageable. The only bummer? The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so on a Saturday morning with the first good swell in over a week, expect company.

After that, from Saturday afternoon onwards, it’s back into the gutter. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore again, and the swell starts fading quickly, dropping to 3ft by Sunday and then staying small and weak right through to the end of July. The mornings on the 28th and 29th look clean with cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only around 3ft to 4ft with low energy (under 180). It’s surfable but very ordinary, nothing to get excited about. By the 30th, it’s back to glassy 1ft slop.

So, to sum it up: endure the long gap of poor conditions until the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That’s your best bet. Go early, expect a crowd, and get your share before the wind ruins it in the afternoon. After that, the outlook dries up again.

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.
