About This Spot
Dolfinarium Beach is located on Israel's Mediterranean coast facing westward into the sea. The spot is characterized by an urban sandy beach with engineered coastal structures (groynes visible in the satellite imagery) designed for beach erosion control. The water shows light turquoise coloring indicating shallow conditions close to shore, typical of Mediterranean beaches. This is a beach break with extremely limited wind reliability at only 1.6%, making it an unreliable kitesurfing destination overall. Average wind speeds of 4.8 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, and waves average just 0.82m. The spot suits only beginners in rare conditions when northerly winds occur, providing side-shore approach. The proximity to urban development, swimmers, and artificial structures requires careful navigation. Better wind and wave conditions are found elsewhere along the Israeli coast. This location is more suitable for other water sports or casual beach activities.
