The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the Hilton (reef/jetties setup) outlook. This is a beginner-friendly spot that doesn’t break often, and the 16-day window is mostly a bust. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t pop up until Wednesday the 16th, so there’s a dry gap of about 5 days before that. Water temp is a whopping 86°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a big deal for the first break we talk about.
The whole stretch is tiny, weak swells from the WNW to NW, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with short periods of 5 to 7 seconds – all windswell. The combined wave energy is weak, staying under 100 (like 15 to 86). The one morning that kind of works is Wednesday the 16th. You’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW, period 7 seconds, and the energy at 86 is still weak but the highest in the window. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the call is “surfable but very ordinary.” Score is a 1 out of 10. That’s your best bet – knee-high rollers for a foamie, nothing more.
The rest of the time? Tiny slop. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy but only 2ft, and Friday the 18th is back to 2ft. The second week from the 20th onward is all 1ft to 2ft dribble, with onshore or cross-onshore winds at 9 to 22 mph. A few mornings are glassy (like the 21st and 24th), but the swell is just too small. Even a clean morning on the 25th with a light offshore and only 2ft – barely a ripple.
No real standouts here. The best is that Wednesday the 16th morning, but it’s a stretch. This spot wants a proper WSW swell to fire, and we just don’t get it. For a beginner who just wants to float around, that Wednesday might be a go. Otherwise, this is a "wait for the next swell" kind of forecast. With strong NW winds hitting 22 mph on the 26th and poor waves, this looks better for kite surfing than paddling on those afternoons.
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.
