The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty.

Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch through to early September is lookin’ pretty grim for Hilton. We’re talkin’ a solid run of weak, short-period West-North-West slop that just won’t clean up.

Kickin’ off Sunday the 23rd of August, the swell’s a tiny 2 ft out of the WNW with a piddly 5-second period. Combined energy’s only 19 – that’s barely a ripple. Winds are onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’s messy. Water temp’s sittin’ around 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice if you’re just floatin’ about.

Monday the 24th stays small – 2 ft in the mornin’, droppin’ to 1 ft by arvo, all cross-onshore. Tuesday the 25th sees a glassy mornin’ with 1 ft, but it’s so tiny you’d be fightin’ for a bump. That pattern of small, onshore slop just drags on. Wednesday the 26th, Thursday the 27th, Friday the 28th – all cross-onshore, all under 2 ft, periods hangin’ around 6 to 7 seconds. Combined energy never gets past 41. It's poor.

Saturday the 29th of August shows a little pulse – 3 ft swell with an 8-second period, energy bumps to 95 in the mornin’ and 127 in the arvo. But the wind’s still cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and crumbly. Not really worth paddlin’ out for.

Sunday the 30th of August has a glimmer. Mornin’ brings 3 ft, WSW offshore winds at 3 mph – glassy! – and the swell period’s 8 seconds. Combined energy is 82. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – and that’s the best we get. For a reef break like Hilton, you’d want a bit more size and a longer period to really get it workin’, but if you’re desperate for a bump on a board, that Sunday mornin’ is your one window. It’s inconsistent and the crowds are possible, so you might have company for those scraps.

After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore junk right through the first week of September. Monday the 31st of August, Tuesday the 1st of September, Wednesday the 2nd – all under 2 ft, periods droppin’ to 4 or 5 seconds, energy fallin’ to single digits. Brutal.

Thursday the 3rd of September mornin’ goes glassy again with 2 ft, but it’s short period and weak. Same story Friday the 4th. No real standouts in that second week – just small, fickle leftovers.

The only thing that catches my eye is right at the tail end. Sunday the 6th of September arvo sees a jump to 7 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period – combined energy rockets to 646! That’s moderate to strong energy. Problem is, it’s cross-onshore at 12 mph – choppy and blown out. That much size at Hilton with onshore wind would be a full-on washing machine. Not for beginners – at 7 ft, that’s expert territory, especially with the wind messin’ it up.

Then Monday the 7th of September mornin’ drops back to 4 ft, but look – it’s glassy! Winds from the SW at 3 mph, period at 8 seconds, combined energy 154. That’s surfable, but nothin’ special.

So, the honest call – there’s no proper standout in this 16-day window. If you’re absolutely jonesin’, Sunday the 30th of August mornin’ is the cleanest, smallest option, and Monday the 7th of September mornin’ offers a tiny bit more size with clean conditions. But don’t expect quality. This reef needs a decent groundswell from the WSW to really fire, and we’re not gettin’ it.

Stay patient, mate. It’ll turn around eventually.

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.
