The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s going on at Hilton.
Mate, it’s a rough run. Over the full 16 days, there’s not a single session worth getting excited about. It’s flat or close to it the whole time, with poor conditions. You’re looking at a dry spell from now all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September with nothing worth paddling out for.
So, Hilton (reef/jetties). This spot is inconsistent anyway, and that’s exactly what we’ve got. From Friday the 28th of August right through, it’s all tiny. The biggest bump is on Sunday the 30th of August morning with a 6ft swell from the WNW, but it’s straight onshore wind, short 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 372. The waves will be a mess. That afternoon drops to 5ft, still cross-onshore and chopped up. For the whole first week, we’re looking at 1ft to 4ft waves, mostly short period under 8 seconds, and wind is onshore or cross-onshore almost every session.
There is a stretch from Thursday the 3rd of September through to Monday the 7th of September where we get a few glassy, clean mornings—Thursday the 3rd morning, Friday the 4th morning, Saturday the 5th morning, Sunday the 6th morning, and Monday the 7th morning. But here’s the thing: the swell is tiny, only 1ft to 2ft, with weak energy (between 9 and 26), and period is short, 4 to 6 seconds. Glassy conditions are great, but there’s no push. You might get a knee-high ripple.
After that, from the 8th to the 12th of September, it’s the same story: 1ft to 2ft, gusty onshore winds in the afternoons, and a couple of glassy mornings on the 10th and 11th of September. The combined energy barely reaches 21.
No standouts here. No single day or break worth chasing. The water temp is about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
If you’re into kite surfing and you see those afternoons with 12-16 mph cross-onshore wind and some chop, that beach-and-reef setup might look more interesting than a paddle session. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye 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.
