The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Hilton. It’s a reef break, exposed to the west-southwest, so it needs that west-northwest swell to get going. But mate, we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead for the next week and a half. There’s just nothing happening. Tiny, weak, short-period waves, mostly chopped up by afternoon northwest winds. A few glassy mornings, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The water’s a warm 30°, which is more than two degrees above normal for this time of year—you’ll feel that, like a warm bath.
From the 14th through the 24th, we’re looking at swell heights under three feet, with periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The wave energy is weak—single digits to the 20s and 30s, with a few 40s and 50s. Not breaking, and when it does, it’s gutless. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, which doesn’t help. A couple of clean, glassy mornings—like the 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and 23rd—offer a bit of hope, but the waves are just too small. You’re looking at knee-high slop at best. Not worth paddling out, even for a beginner.
Now, things start to change on the 26th. There’s a pulse of swell—still small, but with a bit more push. The morning of the 26th sees 1.2m (about 4 feet) of west-northwest swell, period 7 seconds, with light cross-off winds from the east-northeast. It’s clean, but it’s still weak, with combined energy around 124. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for every little wave. The 27th morning, under some clouds, is glassy with a 1.0m (about 3 feet) west-northwest swell, period 8 seconds, energy at 123. Again, clean, but not going to blow your mind.
The best bet in this whole window looks like the 29th. Tuesday morning, clear skies, dead glass. Swell is 1.2m (about 4 feet) from the north, period 6 seconds, combined energy at 89. It’s the biggest swell of the period, but the period is short. That’s a bit of a bummer—short period means weaker, more crumbly waves. It’s still the standout, but it won’t be a classic. The morning will be clean, so it’s your best chance to grab a few fun ones at Hilton, but don’t expect much over waist-high.
There’s a real gap in quality here. For a solid week and a half, there’s essentially nothing. The longer-period swells aren’t really present, so the reef isn’t working its magic. It’s a stretch of flatness that’s pretty normal for this area at this time of year. But keep an eye on those last few mornings—especially the 29th—because that’s where the spark is.
So, bottom line: don’t bother waxing up for the first ten days. If you’re keen, the morning of the 26th, 27th, and especially the 29th offer small, clean, surfable waves. Not epic, not huge, just something to get you wet. It’s been flat, but it looks like it might finally turn.
Rusty out.

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.
