The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one.
We’re looking at a full 16-day window for Dolphinarium, and I gotta tell you, the surf just isn't showing up. The whole period is a dry spell. There are no good surf options on the table at all. From the 29th of August all the way through to the 13th of September, every single session is marked by poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-week gap where you’d be better off finding something else to do.
The swell is tiny, rarely pushing above 3ft, and the period is short, mostly between 6 and 8 seconds, which means weak, wind-slop energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is consistently low, with values like 58 (weak), 134 (weak to moderate), and 343 (moderate) but without any quality to back it up. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and even when it goes glassy, the swell just isn't there to make it worth paddling out.
The water temp is sitting at 86° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s slightly out of the ordinary.
Bottom line: this is a blank run for the area. It’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat for long, but for now, keep the boards 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.
