The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk through this stretch.
Honestly, this 16-day run is looking lean. There’s a long, dry spell right off the bat. The first time we see anything worth mentioning is Friday, July 31st. Before that, and for most of the period after, it’s pretty depressing.
Dolphinarium is the only game in town. The water is a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first half of the outlook is tiny and poor. From Monday, July 27th through Thursday, July 30th, the waves are junk and the energy is weak – we’re looking at combined swell energy values between 15 and 93 (weak energy). Don’t bother.
Friday, July 31st morning offers the first real chance. It’s glassy with a light westerly breeze. We get knee-high swell at 2ft from the NW with an 8-second period. The energy is still weak at 67, and the report says it’s “surfable waves but very ordinary.” Not good, but you could float around.
Saturday, August 1st morning is glassy again, but the swell drops to 2ft from the WNW with a 7-second period and energy of just 33. Tiny.
Then we get more poor, onshore winds and smaller surf until another morning pops up. Thursday, August 6th morning is glassy with a light westerly wind. The swell is 3ft from the WNW with a 7-second period and energy of 51 (weak energy). The comment is the same: “surfable waves but very ordinary.” It’s a dawn patrol for the dedicated only.
From Sunday, August 9th onward, the swell just collapses. We’re talking swell heights of 0.7ft to 1ft with energy levels dropping to single digits across the board. It’s flat.
There are no true standouts here. The best you can hope for are the Friday, July 31st morning or Thursday, August 6th morning, both offering clean, glassy conditions on knee-high, weak swell. Manage your expectations.
A tough run with very little energy in the water.
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.
