The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Hilton over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you from the jump: this isn't a classic forecast for this spot. The water is a balmy 85°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The problem is the wave energy. We're looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak surf. The combined swell energy barely hits the 40s and 50s (moderate energy at best) on its biggest days, and most of the time it's stuck below 30 (weak energy). The swell is coming from the WNW to NW, but with a short period of only 6 to 8 seconds, that's just weak, disorganized windswell. It's going to be bumpy and gutless.
For a beginner-friendly reef break like Hilton, anything over 1.5m is too big, but we never even get close. The biggest readings we see are just 3ft. Now, there are a few isolated moments where the wind goes glassy – early mornings are our best bet. The standout happens on Wednesday morning, September 25th. We've got a 3ft WNW swell (69 combined energy – moderate) with the wind swinging WSW and going glassy. That's your window for the cleanest, most rideable wave of the whole run. Also worth a look is the Wednesday morning before that, on September 23rd. Again, we get a 3ft WNW swell, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (57). It's small, but it'll be the cleanest it's going to get.
Outside of those two morning windows, it's mostly cross-onshore chop or straight onshore wind. The whole forecast is a bit of a flat spell. If you're a total beginner with a foamie, those Wednesday mornings might give you some tiny, clean rollers to practice on. For anyone else, it's going to be a frustrating paddle for nothing.

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.
