The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Dolphinarium.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty lackluster. We've got a real gap of nothing special from now until late in the first week. The good news is there’s a glimmer of something better towards the end of the run, but I’d be lying if I said the surf was cooking.

The first real chance of a wave worth talking about is on the morning of the 9th of August. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind will be a light cross-offshore from the SW, which will keep the surface clean. The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 85°F, but the combined energy is only sitting at 50 – it’s weak. You’ll get a wave, but it’s ordinary.

The next standout is a morning session on the 13th of August. Again, we’re looking at a small 2 ft WNW swell, still with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is from the SW at 9 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore. The energy is a bit better at 55, but you’re still not going to get any power. The break is exposed to the swell, so it’ll catch what little there is.

The best of the whole outlook comes on the 16th of August. The swell is the biggest we’ll see at 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the NW. That’s the key here – total calm. The energy climbs to 66, and for the first time in a while, the conditions are actually good. This is your best bet by a long shot. It’s still a small wave, but it’ll be clean and fun.

After that, the morning of the 18th of August has potential with a 3 ft NW swell, a light cross-offshore from the SW, and an energy of 56, but it’s not as good as the Sunday before.

Between now and the 9th, there’s a lot of onshore wind and tiny swell. This is a beach setup, so if the wind is strong from the NW or WNW, it’s going to be choppy and messy. For a beginner, the 2 ft to 2 ft waves are fine, but the wind will often be blowing straight onshore. The crowds are 'sometimes' an issue, but with surf this small, I wouldn’t worry about it.

For a stretch of days, from the 3rd to the 8th, there's really nothing to recommend. It’s a long gap of poor surf conditions. The forecasts can change, though, so keep an eye on it.

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.
