The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer for the Hilton area over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be straight – it’s a pretty quiet stretch. Most of the time the waves are tiny and the wind is working against us, so you’ll need to pick your moments.
Starting Sunday the 23rd of August through the end of the month, the surf is barely a ripple. We’re talking 1ft to 2ft swells from the WNW, with short periods of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly between 12 and 26 – that’s just a bump. Mornings sometimes go glassy, but afternoons turn cross-onshore and choppy. Water temp is 86°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water feels good even if the waves don’t.
There’s a little spike on Saturday the 29th of August afternoon when the energy jumps to 137 and the swell hits 3ft with a 9-second period. That’s the most energy we see in the first week, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be messy. Still called “poor surf conditions” across the board.
Sunday the 30th of August morning gives us the first real chance – glassy conditions with a 2ft NW swell, 8-second period, and energy at 60. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s about the best we get until September. It’s rideable, but don’t expect much.
Then we hit a proper dry spell. From Sunday afternoon on the 30th right through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s all sub-2ft, short-period slop with cross-onshore winds and energy readings that drop as low as 5 on the 1st of September. That’s 5 days of barely anything to surf.
The second week finally shows some life. On Saturday the 5th of September, the swell lifts to 3ft from the WNW, period 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 108 – moderate energy. Winds are light cross-onshore in the morning, so it’s cleaner but still not great. Sunday the 6th of September keeps that 3ft to 4ft swell going with 8-second periods and energy at 120 to 135, but the afternoon wind turns moderate cross-onshore again. Monday the 7th of September morning holds onto 3ft, 8 seconds, energy at 131, with light cross-onshore wind. It’s the best run of the whole outlook, but the wind direction keeps it from being a standout.
The only break here is Hilton, a reef setup that works best with WSW swell. All the swell we’re getting is from the WNW or NW, so the alignment isn’t ideal. It’s an inconsistent beginner spot, and crowds are only sometimes a problem. With wave heights staying under 4ft, it’s safe for all levels, but the quality is lacking. If you’re into kite surfing, those afternoons with moderate cross-onshore wind and 3ft waves might actually be more fun than a paddle session.
Honestly, there are no true standouts in this 16-day window. The best bet would be the mornings of Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th of September if you’re really keen, but keep your hopes in check. For the Hilton area, this kind of flat, weak run is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up completely, but for now, I’d say the board can stay in the garage.
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.
