The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one for Hilton. We're looking at a real lean stretch ahead, so let's get into it.
The outlook starts with a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for. From Monday the 24th of August right through to Saturday the 5th of September, the swell is tiny and the wind is messy. We're talking about a solid two-week stretch where the best you'll see is a knee-high bump with onshore or cross-shore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 86° initially, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only exciting thing going on.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Sunday the 6th of September. There's a bump in the morning with 4ft swell from the WNW, period around 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 204 (moderate), and with a light cross-shore from the SW at 3 mph, it's about as clean as it gets. It's still a marginal call – the wave comment says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions" – but it's the only window where you might snag a few waist-high runners. The afternoon goes onshore, so that morning window is the one to chase.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is this Sunday morning session. It's the only time the numbers line up. The swell is still small, but the light wind should keep it clean. Remember, Hilton is an inconsistent reef/jetties spot, and it rarely sees good shape, so don't expect a world-class day. With the swell from the WNW, it's coming from a direction that's not ideal for the optimum WSW swell direction the spot likes, but it's the best we've got.
After that, it drops back to nothing – tiny swells and onshore winds for the rest of the run into the second week. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. If you're desperate, that Sunday morning glass-off is your only play. Otherwise, the forecast could change, but right now, it's a blank run.
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.
