The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s ahead for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you straight up, this isn’t a classic run. The swell’s going to be tiny and weak for most of the period, so we’ve got to be patient and pick our moments.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, 25 July. Up until then, we’re looking at a long gap of small, poor-quality surf. From Monday, 20 July, right through to Friday, 24 July, the waves are barely a ripple, with heights stuck around 1 ft to 3 ft and short-period windswell. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 8 and 73, so it’s not worth paddling out for. The wind is often cross or cross-onshore, making it messy. You’d be better off staying on the beach.
Things finally perk up a little on Saturday, 25 July. The morning at Dolphinarium is the best we’ve got. We see a 4 ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period – that’s a bit more push, and the combined energy climbs to 129 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so the size is fine for learning, but don’t expect anything world-class. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The swell direction is from the NW, which isn’t the optimum for this break (they prefer NW), but it’s close enough to work. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the NW, ruining it, so get out early. Crowds are possible here, so be ready to share the peak.
After Saturday, the swell drops back again. Sunday, 26 July, is a write-off with tiny 2 ft to 2 ft waves and cross-onshore wind. Then Monday, 27 July, has a glassy morning with 2 ft swell from the WNW, but it’s weak with only 54 energy. The same story repeats through the rest of the month and into early August: tiny waves, poor conditions, and nothing worth getting excited about. The combined energy barely cracks 50 most days.
So, to sum it up: the standout is Saturday morning, 25 July, at Dolphinarium. It’s not huge, but it’s the cleanest, most rideable window in a pretty flat spell. The rest of the 16 days is a long, quiet run. If you’re keen, mark that Saturday morning on your calendar. Otherwise, the board stays in the car.
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.
