The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. We’re looking at a quiet stretch for the Hilton reef. The whole pattern is small, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy is a weak 15 on Thursday morning, and it just doesn’t get any real juice. The swell is coming from the WNW, which is the right direction, but it’s barely a pulse. The period is a short 6 seconds the whole time—just weak wind swell, not a proper groundswell. Water temp is about average for the season.
The first chance to get wet is Thursday, August 6th, but it’s not worth it. The swell is a tiny 1ft from the WNW, and the wind is cross-on. It’s just poor surf with small wind ripples. Friday morning is a little better at 2ft, but still cross-on. Saturday and Sunday see the swell bump up to 3ft to 3ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. The energy is still weak, maxing out at 73 Sunday morning.
We get two glassy mornings on Monday, August 10th and Tuesday, August 11th. The swell is only 1ft to 2ft, but with the wind glassy, that’s the cleanest the ocean will look. The combined energy is still pathetic at 32 and 17. It’s not a session you’d drive for, but if you’ve got a longboard and live nearby, the Monday morning glass-off might be a nice sunrise paddle. Crowds are only “sometimes” a problem, so you’ll have it pretty much to yourself.
After that, it’s a long run of poor surf. The wind stays cross-on or onshore, the swell is between 1ft and 3ft, and the period never gets above 8 seconds. There’s a small bump in the energy around Monday, August 17th, hitting 176 early with a 4ft WNW swell at 8 seconds. That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but the wind is cross-on and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” It won’t be a stand-out.
The real standout here is the Monday morning, August 10th glass-off. It’s the only time the wind truly cooperates, and it’s clean. The swell is tiny, but it’s the best on offer. The gusty, onshore winds that follow for the rest of the two weeks don’t give us any other window for clean waves. We’ve got a gap of poor surf from the 12th right through to the 21st, with no real quality.
This is a blank run for Hilton. The reef needs a proper groundswell to work, and we’re just not getting one. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking flat.
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.
