The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead for the Dolphinarium. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s no real surf worth paddling out for. The whole period is a write-off.
We start off with a bit of a flat spell and it just doesn't let up. The swell is small, the period is short, and the energy just isn't there. The first few days, from Sunday the 26th through the middle of the week, are all "poor surf conditions". The swell hangs around a tiny 3 ft to 1.6 ft, with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak – you're looking at values like 69 (weak) and 15 (weak). The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-on, which just messes up what little bump there is.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Thursday morning the 30th. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is a weak 3 ft from the NW with a 7-second period. The combined energy creeps up to 77 (still weak). The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's a 1 out of 10 scenario. It’s not good, but if you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high lumps. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The pattern repeats. Small glassy mornings on Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August, with the same tiny 2 ft swell. The period is still short, and the energy is pitiful (55 and 36). The wind is the only nice thing – dead calm – but the swell just isn't there to back it up.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade into flatness. The swell drops to 1.6 ft and then 1.3 ft, the period drops to 6 seconds, and the combined energy falls into the single digits. By the 10th of August, we’re looking at 0.7 ft swell with a combined energy of 4 (weak). That’s barely a ripple.
The bottom line: there’s one barely surfable window on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, and even that is a struggle. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off doing something else. The setup is so weak and wind-affected that it’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddle-surfing swell. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
