The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s ahead for the Hilton area.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. The data is telling me there’s not a single good surf option on offer. The whole run is a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at a stretch of poor surf conditions that just doesn’t let up. The first few days have tiny, weak swell with a combined energy of just 36 (weak) on Friday the 17th, and it just kind of meanders along with similar small stuff. There’s a gap of about a week from the start until we see a slight bump on the 25th of July, but even that bump, with a combined energy of 138 (moderate), still gets the “poor surf conditions” tag. The swell is coming from the WNW mostly, with a short period of 7-8 seconds, so it’s weak windswell, not anything with real punch.
Water temp is sitting at 82°F on the 17th, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The only break in the game is Hilton, a reef/jetty spot. It’s inconsistent, which is part of the problem, and it’s exposed to swell from the WSW, but the swell we’re seeing is mostly from the WNW, so it’s not even lining up right. The winds are a mess too – mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or just cross, with only a few glassy moments like Sunday the 19th morning and Monday the 30th morning. But even with glassy conditions, the waves are tiny, at 1ft to 2ft, and the quality is still rated as poor. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with no waves to speak of, there’s nothing for anyone.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent normally, this is a real bummer of a run. It’s one of those periods where you just have to wait it out. Don’t bother packing the board.
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.
