The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The truth is, we’re looking at a pretty flat run for the next couple of weeks. There’s no real swell on the cards, and the little bumps we do get are just not doing the job. The only break we’ve got on the radar is Hilton, and it’s a real inconsistent spot, so a blank stretch like this isn’t out of the ordinary for the area.
The wait is a long one. We’ve got to go all the way through to Sunday the 16th of August morning before anything even qualifies as “surfable,” and even then, it’s barely a whisper. The first real action doesn’t come until then, so that’s a full two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
The best of a very quiet bunch is that Sunday morning, the 16th of August, at Hilton. Right now, it’s looking like a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW, but the kicker is the wind. It’s going to be glassy. Absolutely flat calm. For a spot that’s usually onshore or choppy, that’s a rare treat. The combined swell energy is a weak 66, so it’s not powerful, but with clean conditions, you might find a few fun little runners. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Now, the rest of the window is honestly a write-off. Every other session is marked as poor surf. The swell stays tiny, mostly between 2ft and 3ft, and the period is short, around 4 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, short-period wind chop. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s a quick moment on Tuesday the 4th morning with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft with a 5-second period – that’s just a lake. Not worth it.
For beginners, the swell never gets above 5ft, so it’s not too big, but the quality is so poor that it’s not really a good learning environment either. The setup at Hilton is a reef and jetties, so it needs a decent swell to work, and it just isn’t getting it.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, wait for the glassy conditions on Sunday the 16th of August morning. It’ll be clean, but don’t expect much push. Otherwise, save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for a tiny reward.
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.
