The Lowdown
Grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
Flat out. Hilton is a complete no-go for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing until late in the month. The water is sitting at a toasty 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only interesting thing going on.
The first surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the 28th of August, Friday evening. That’s a full ten days of waiting. Even then, it’s nothing to write home about. Friday arvo brings in a small bump from the WNW at 3 ft, but it’s carrying a short 8-second period and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. The combined energy is still weak (102), so don’t get your hopes up.
The one tiny standout in this whole 16-day window is Saturday the 29th of August. If you’re itching for a paddle, the morning is your only real shot. We’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE on the same 3 ft WNW swell. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean with that wind. The combined energy is still weak (86) though, so it’s more about getting wet than scoring epic waves. It’s not going to be crowded because there’s nothing to crowd for, but at least the conditions are surfable and very ordinary. By the afternoon, the wind swings and chops it all up again.
Honestly, mate, there’s no good surf on offer here. This is one of those stretches where you just wait for the forecasts to change. It tends not to stay this poor forever.
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 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Tel Aviv. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
