The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get stuck into this one. I’m lookin’ at the outlook for Hilton, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. There’s a whole lot of nothin’ on the table for the next 16 days.
First up, the water here is runnin’ at 86°F—that’s about 4°F warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than normal. Feels like a bath, but that’s about the only good news.
The combined swell energy is weak across the whole period, with values mostly in the single digits or low twenties (26, 29, 8, 12, 13…), and the heights are tiny—stuck between 0.7 ft and 2 ft. The swell is coming from the WNW or NW, with periods of 5 to 8 seconds, so it’s short-period, weak, and won’t have any grunt. The wind is all over the place, but there are a few glassy mornings—like Friday the 21st, Saturday the 22nd, Monday the 24th, Tuesday the 25th, and the morning of the 31st of August—where it’s dead calm or light offshore. Those mornings will look clean, but with such small waves, it’s barely a paddle.
The consistency is listed as “inconsistent,” and that’s being kind. The break is a reef/jetty setup, beginner level, and it’s exposed to a WSW optimum swell direction, but we’re getting WNW/NW swell, so it’s not matching up at all. Crowds are likely here (“often”), but with these conditions, I doubt anyone’s out.
The best on offer? Honestly, there’s no standout. If I had to pick a window, the morning of the 29th of August has a little bump up to 2 ft with a 7-second period, light cross-shore wind, and combined energy at 42 (still weak). The morning of the 1st of September looks similar: 2 ft, 7 seconds, glassy, energy at 41. But it’s still poor surf. For a surfer, there’s not enough wave to work with.
There’s a gap of no real surf from now right through the whole 16 days. The swell is too small, the period too short, and the direction doesn’t suit the break. Save your energy and check back later—forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Stay keen,
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.
