The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. This outlook covers a stretch from July 27th right through to August 11th, and honestly, it's a tough watch for Hilton.
First up, the water temp is sitting around 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right from the get-go, from Monday the 27th, the swell is tiny and the wind is a mess. We're looking at around 3ft from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds and weak combined energy (93). That cross-on breeze from the NW just chops it all up. This carries on for days. The morning of Tuesday the 28th goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft and a 7-second period (energy 30) – just not enough push to make anything of it.
You get a small window on Friday morning the 31st, with glassy conditions and a 2ft swell at 8 seconds (energy 67). The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary" – and that's the best it gets for a while. Saturday morning the 1st of August is also glassy, but the swell is back down to 2ft (energy 33). See-sawing between tiny, weak swell and choppy, onshore wind is the theme.
There’s a gap of pretty much nothing until Thursday morning the 6th of August. That morning shapes up glassy again with a similar 3ft swell at 7 seconds (energy 51), and again the report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary." We get another glassy spell on Friday the 7th, but that swell drops to 2ft (energy 22).
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. It's dead calm, glassy conditions, but the swell bottoms out at 1ft from the WNW with a weak 6-second period (energy 13). It’s a beautiful, clean surface with absolutely no power.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day run, there isn't a single day that gets close to being good. The swell is way too small, the period is short, and the combined wave energy is weak throughout. For a reef/jetties spot like Hilton that’s exposed to a WSW optimum, the small WNW/NW swell directions we're seeing just don’t match up. The best you can hope for is a clean, glassy session on a tiny, weak wave – and even that only appears for a handful of mornings. For the rest, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore chop with no real waves to ride. I wouldn't bother paddling out for this.

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.
