The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. The outlook for the next sixteen days is a long, flat spell for the most part. We're looking at Hilton, a reef and jetty setup that's a beginner-friendly spot, but it's inconsistent and can get crowded. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first sniff of anything even close to surfable doesn't show up until Monday, the 27th of July. Before that, we're looking at a solid week of tiny, wind-chopped junk. From the 21st right through the 26th, it's all poor conditions with waves barely hitting 3ft and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. Kite surfers might get a look in with that wind direction, but for a paddle surfer, it's a hard no.
That Monday morning, the 27th, is the first little glimmer. A light north wind goes glassy, and we get a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (93), but it's the cleanest we'll see. The problem is, it's inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for the sets. It's surfable, but barely worth the paddle out. The afternoon chops right back up.
Then we go into another dry spell. Tuesday the 28th through Friday the 1st of August is more of the same – small, junky, onshore slop. The next real chance comes on the morning of Saturday, the 1st of August. The wind goes glassy again, this time from the SSW. The swell is a similar size, 3ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period, and the energy is a touch higher at moderate (114). It's still a low-energy, inconsistent day, but that glassy wind will make it the cleanest wave of the whole period. This is the best on offer. It's a beginner-friendly wave at a break that's often crowded, but if you get on it early Saturday morning, you might have a few clean ones to yourself.
After that, we're back to the flatness. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the end of the window on the 5th of August, it's all poor conditions again. Swell drops back below 3ft and the wind is mostly onshore. It's a long, bleak run for Hilton. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
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.
