The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the next couple weeks in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a rough stretch for Hilton. There’s a solid week plus of nothing – from now until the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd, you’re looking at a flat spell. Swell heights are tiny: 1ft to 2ft most days, with a short period of 5 to 7 seconds. No power. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the single digits or low teens (9 to 51), with a couple of spots hitting 75 or 98. That’s weak energy.
Water temp is 86°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal – that’s notably hot for this spot. Wind is mostly cross or cross-on, often moderate, so the surface is chopped up. Even the glassy mornings can’t fix the lack of swell. The swell direction is mostly NW or WNW, and Hilton’s best swell angle is WSW, so it’s coming from the wrong way.
The only real highlight – and I’m being generous – is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. Glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze, 3ft of WNW swell at 8 seconds, and energy of 75. It’s barely surfable, but it’s the best you’ll get. The morning of Thursday, September 3rd, is similar: glassy, 3ft, energy 98. Still short period, so it’s not gonna peel nicely.
For a beginner reef/jetty spot like Hilton, it’s inconsistent and often crowded. With this weak, short-period swell, it’s just not worth the paddle. If you’re desperate, those glassy mornings around September 2-3 are your only real chance, but don’t expect much.
Rusty out.

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.
