The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the Hilton situation.
Honestly, the next two weeks are looking pretty flat and forgettable. A long run of weak, short-period wind swell that's just not delivering. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the season, sitting at 86°F.
The first tiny chance comes on the morning of Tuesday the 18th. We've got a small 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy. It's technically surfable, but very ordinary. The combined wave energy is a weak 68. That's the best morning window for a while, and it's gone by the afternoon when the wind picks up.
Then we hit a dry patch. Day after day of poor conditions, with cross-onshore breezes and tiny, choppy surf. That Tuesday morning glass is a tease, and we're looking at a long gap.
The one and only standout is the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. The swell finally shows some life – 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy hits 169 (moderate), which is a real step up from the dribble. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it might be a bit workable. Get on it early, as the afternoon brings onshore winds. For a beginner, this 4ft is a bit much, but it's the best we've got.
The rest of the forecast into September is more of the same: small, weak, and wind-affected. The spot is a reef and jetty, so it's not a total loss, but there's no real groundswell to get excited about. Pin the 29th on the calendar and hope the models get a bit more generous.
Rusty 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.
