The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the Hilton reef. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for anything good.
The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first full week is a write-off. Starting Monday the 17th, we’ve got tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s coming in with a short period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of just 84 (weak). The wind is onshore and bumpy, so it’s all poor surf. This flat, choppy pattern drags on all the way through Friday the 23rd, with swell dropping to 2ft or 2ft and energy sinking into the teens. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Friday the 21st, but with only 2ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s barely a ripple.
The second week doesn’t get much better. From Monday the 25th to Thursday the 28th, we’re stuck with tiny 1ft to 2ft swell and weak energy. It’s all cross-onshore or onshore wind, so the surface will be lumpy. Honestly, it’s a blank run.
Now, the one and only glimmer in this whole outlook comes on Saturday the 29th. The morning shows a bump in swell to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy jumping to 197 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the entire forecast. But even then, the wind is light cross-onshore, and the guidance still calls it “poor surf conditions.” For a reef break, that size and direction is marginal at best, and the wind angle isn’t doing it any favors. It’s not a standout by any stretch.
After that, it fades back to small stuff to close out the month and into September.
If you’re into kiting, that Saturday morning might have enough puff to be interesting, but for paddle surfing, there’s literally nothing to recommend here. The Hilton is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast shows exactly why.
Stay patient, folks. The surf will come back eventually.
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.
