The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks around Hilton.
Alright, I’ll level with you – this is a rough stretch for Hilton. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for any paddle surfing. The swell isn't just small, it's also coming from directions that aren't Hilton's best friend. The optimum swell direction for this spot is from the WSW, but for the entire forecast period, the swell is mostly from the WNW or NW. That's a bad match-up, even if there was some size. The swell period hangs around the 6 to 8-second mark, all short-period windswell that won't have much shape or push.
Looking through the days, it's almost all "poor surf conditions" every session. The wave energy is weak, mostly in the teens to forties, only climbing into three digits a couple of times on the morning of Sunday August 16th (105), and then the following Monday morning (91) and Monday afternoon (81). Even when the combined energy gets into triple digits on that Sunday, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, the swell is still just 3ft and from the WNW. It’s just not going to line up.
There are a few glassy mornings – Wednesday August 19th, Friday August 21st, Wednesday August 26th, and Thursday August 27th – but the swell on those days is tiny (1ft to 2ft) and weak. On the 26th and 27th, the wind goes glassy in the morning, but the swell is basically non-existent. You could sit out there on a longboard and maybe get a knee-high ripple, but it’s not surf.
The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at about 86°F, but honestly, that's the only thing even slightly out of the ordinary. The whole outlook is a blank run. This is a reef and jetty setup that's exposed, but the lack of any decent-sized swell from a favourable direction, combined with consistent onshore and cross-onshore winds, makes it a complete write-off for surfers.
Honestly, for a break like this, with an exposed setup and a good amount of wind, if you’re into kite surfing, those afternoons with 12 mph cross-onshore winds might look more interesting. But for a paddle surfer? There’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
