The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: Hilton’s got a tough run ahead. Over the next 16 days, there’s pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, weak swell – never cracking 2ft – and the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, so the surface is choppy or bumpy. It starts with a gap of no real surf from Friday 21 August right through to Saturday 29 August. The combined wave energy stays low, barely into double digits, like 6 to 52 (weak energy), so there’s just no push.
The best run you’ll see is around Sunday 30 August morning. The swell is only 2ft out of the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds – that’s a short-period wind swell, so the waves will be a bit soft and crumbly. But the wind goes completely glassy, which is rare for Hilton, so it’ll be clean. The energy is still weak at 41, but if you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high sliders. The break is a reef, exposed to the swell, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting. Crowds are only sometimes there, so you might have it quiet. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
That Sunday morning window is your only real shot. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak junk through the first week of September. By the time Friday 4 September comes around, the swell bumps up a fraction to 2ft, but the wind is cross-on, and the energy is still weak at 48. Nothing to get excited about. On the whole, this is a blank stretch for Hilton – it’s a reef that doesn’t fire often, and when it’s this flat, you’re better off checking the wind forecast for a kite session. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
