Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hilton over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look at this one. To be honest, it’s pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at Hilton, a reef/jetty setup that’s more of a beginner wave, but it’s inconsistent and frankly, it’s not doing much at all.
The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but that’s about the only upside.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There’s no decent surf on offer at all. We’re looking at a massive gap from the start all the way through to the end of the period. The swell is tiny, barely cracking 1 ft to 4 ft, with a short, weak period of 5 to 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is pitiful – the best we see is a weak 147 on the 8th of July, and it just drops off from there. Most days the energy is in the double digits, like 19, 26, 34 – that’s nothing.
The wind is the killer. For the most part, it’s cross-on or onshore, with a moderate breeze that’s making things choppy and messy. There are a couple of mornings, like the 11th and 12th of July, where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 2 ft to 2 ft. You’d be sitting out there on a lake, not a wave. The swell direction is from the WNW, and the optimum for Hilton is WSW, so it’s coming from a poor angle for the spot. Everything is wrong.
Given the persistent small swell, poor quality, and onshore winds, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just nothing to recommend for a surfer. Sometimes a blank run is normal for an area, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t waste the petrol.

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.
