The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you in feet and inches. This is Rusty.
Honestly, the next 16 days at Dolphinarium are pretty grim. You’re looking at a long stretch of tiny waves and ugly onshore wind. There are gaps of multiple days where you wouldn't even bother waxing up. It’s one of those runs where you just wait it out.
It kicks off Wednesday the 9th of September. Morning shows a weak 2ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only 43 (weak). The wind is cross-on from the NNE at 3 mph. Useless. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up – forget it.
Thursday the 10th of September morning is glassy, which is nice, but that 2ft WNW swell at 7 seconds has no power. Combined energy is just 31. It looks pretty but you’re not surfing it.
Friday the 11th, Saturday the 12th, Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, Wednesday the 16th… same story. Swell stays between 1ft and 2ft, periods are short (5 to 6 seconds), and the combined energy never cracks the moderate range. Most afternoons get smoked by onshore wind from the NW at 12 mph. A few mornings are glassy, but the swell is so weak it’s a total non-event.
We get a tiny bump around Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September. Swell hits about 3ft from the NW, still with a short 6-7 second period and combined energy up to 67 (moderate). But the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. It’s choppy and not worth a paddle.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Monday the 21st of September morning. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a 3ft WNW swell at 7 seconds, combined energy 59 (weak). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your one shot, and it’s a small one.
The rest is just tiny, weak, and messy. For a beginner spot like this, the swell never comes close to 5ft, so it’s not dangerous, but it’s just not surfable. No standout sessions here, boys. Keep the board in the car for another week.
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.
