The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a write-off for Hilton. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and most of the time the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever small bumps are out there. The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only real chance to get a paddle happens on the morning of Sunday the 6th. We’ve got a glassy surface with the wind dropping to nothing, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 72 – weak – but it’s the cleanest window we’ll see. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re desperate for a float, that’s your moment.
After that, the mornings of the 10th, 11th, and 12th also offer glassy conditions with small 3ft to 3ft WNW swell, but the period is still short at 7 seconds, and the energy is only around 64 to 77. It’s the same story: clean but weak. The afternoons all get blown out by a cross-onshore wind.
Beyond that, from the 13th onward, the swell drops back to 2ft or less, and the period is down around 5 to 6 seconds. The wind is often glassy in the mornings, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with – combined energy is in the single digits or low teens. It’s a flat spell.
Hilton is an inconsistent reef/jetty setup, and it’s not breaking often. With this forecast, it’s looking like a long blank run. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but when the swell is this small and weak, even the most forgiving wave won’t show up. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
