The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a few windows where the ocean might show a little pulse, but you’re gonna have to be patient and pick your moments. The main break we’re watching is Dolphinarium, which is exposed to the NW swell.
First up, we’ve got a blank run from now until the morning of Sunday, August 16th. That’s nearly a week of barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 85°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice swim if nothing else.
Right, Sunday the 16th morning is the first time we see anything surfable. Dolphinarium will have a small 2ft NW swell, period around 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 65. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, so it’ll be clean. It’s not gonna get the heart racing, but you can get a few knee-high wobbles. The break is fairly consistent, which helps, and it’s a beginner spot, so this is a good time for the learners to get wet. Crowds are possible there though.
Monday the 17th morning looks similar – 3ft WNW swell, 8 second period, 72 combined energy, with light cross-offshore SW wind. Clean again, but still very ordinary.
Then Tuesday the 18th morning, we’ve got some clouds rolling in, 3ft NW swell, 7 second period, 65 combined energy. Wind is still light cross-offshore from the SW. It’s surfable, but again, ordinary.
We’ve got a few mornings with glassy conditions – Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th – but the swell is tiny, just 2ft to 2ft, so don’t get your hopes up.
The best on offer across the whole 16 days is probably the morning of Saturday the 22nd. Dolphinarium will see a 3ft NW swell, 6 second period, combined energy of 51. It’s small, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit weak, but it’s the pick of a very flat bunch. Not a standout in the usual sense, just the best of what’s around.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the mornings with those light cross-offshore winds. The afternoons are all cross-onshore and choppy – no good for surfing. This is a tough run for a spot that’s fairly consistent. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
