The Lowdown
Well, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hilton is a real struggle. We’ve got a long, bleak stretch ahead with very little to get excited about. The first real chance to paddle out pops up on Thursday, the 30th of July, but it’s a gentle start and nothing to write home about. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 84°, which is a bit unusual.
The only break we’ve got to look at is Hilton, a reef/jetties setup. It’s inconsistent, so you can’t rely on it, and it’s often crowded, so expect company if you bother. The swell is tiny, around 3 ft from the WNW, with a short period of 7 seconds – that’s weak, weedy energy (62). The wind is glassy though, which is a major positive, so if you’re desperate for a knee-high dribbler, Thursday morning is your only real shot. The rest of that day and the following days are a write-off: poor surf conditions, mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds, and the swell stays small and weak.
We’ll see a slight bump on the 10th of August, a Monday morning, with 2 ft from the NW, period up to 8 seconds, and glassy conditions again. Combined energy hits 60 – still weak, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The swell is too small and short-period to offer anything with shape or power. After that, it’s back to tiny, messy waves and poor conditions all the way through to the 14th of August.
The standout – if you can call it that – is Thursday morning, the 30th of July. The glassy wind and the 3 ft WNW swell (even though it’s small) make it the cleanest option. It’s not a day for any real performance, just a splash around for a beginner. The 10th of August Monday morning is also worth a mention for the glassy conditions, but the swell is still tiny. The rest of the fortnight is a gap of flat, poor-quality nothingness.
Honestly, this is a proper dry spell. If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore breezes and small, choppy waves might look more interesting than a paddle session. But for the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s grim.
Rusty.

Information about the Hilton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hilton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hilton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hilton 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 (Hilton) 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 Hilton 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.
Hilton is 7 km (4 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.
