The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Hilton.
I’ll level with you – the whole 16-day run is a dud. There is no real surf to get excited about. The swell energy is mostly weak, and even when it bumps up a bit, the conditions just aren’t cooperating. There are no standouts. Nothing to recommend.
We start Wednesday the 15th with a tiny 3ft WNW swell but it’s short period and the wind is onshore, making it poor. Thursday the 16th morning has a bit of energy but the waves are still small and cross-shore wind keeps things messy. Friday the 17th drops to 2ft with onshore winds – a total bust. Saturday the 18th morning goes glassy but the swell is only 2ft and super weak (energy 30). You could float around but that’s about it.
From there it stays flat or nearly flat – swell from 1ft to 2ft, short periods, and the afternoon sea breezes ruin any chance of clean waves. The pulse around Friday the 24th brings a 4ft WNW swell and some moderate energy, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy and ugly. Saturday the 25th morning hits 5ft with lighter wind, but the direction is WNW while Hilton works best with WSW, so the waves won’t wrap in well.
The rest of the outlook is more of the same: small, weak, onshore in the afternoons. If you want a glassy paddle, Saturday the 18th morning is your only real window, and that’s for beginners only.
Bottom line – it’s a flat spell. No standouts, no reason to rush. Forecasts can change, but for now, take a break.
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.
