Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table.
Well, to be honest, it’s a bit of a slow patch ahead for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a gap right at the start – Friday and Saturday are a write-off. The swell is small and the wind’s all wrong, kicking up chop. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday morning, 5 July, things finally start to show a pulse. Dolphinarium will pick up a small 4ft swell out of the WNW with a short 7-second period, so it’s not going to have much punch. The combined energy reads 120 (moderate), so there’s a little bit of movement, and with a light cross-off breeze, it’ll be clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. If you’re a beginner, those are about the friendliest conditions you’ll get for the whole run.
Through the middle of the week the swell stays around 4ft to 4ft from the WNW and the period stretches to 8 seconds, meaning slightly better shape, but the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore. The combined energy sits between 138 and 188, so there’s some moderate juice, but the wave quality gets knocked by the wind. Nothing to get excited about.
Friday morning, 10 July, we get another clean window with a light cross-off breeze and 4ft of swell. Again, ordinary, but the clean surface makes them more fun than the numbers suggest. The same deal repeats Saturday morning, 11 July, with even smaller 3ft.
After that, the swell drops right off. Sunday 12 July and Monday 13 July are tiny with barely 1ft to 2ft – glassy conditions on Monday morning which is a shame because there’s no power. The forecast shows a few more clean but small mornings on 15, 17 and 18 July, never cracking more than 4ft. The combined energy on Saturday morning 18 July climbs back to 134, which is the best in the second week, but it’s still just ordinary waves with light offshore wind.
There’s no standout session here, but if you’re itching, the cleanest and most user-friendly windows are Sunday 5 July morning and Saturday 18 July morning at Dolphinarium. For everyone else, maybe give the board a rest.
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.
