The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. This is Hilton, a reef break, and it’s a tough stretch.
Right now, the surf is flat. Punching out tiny swell from the west-northwest, around 2ft with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The wind is on it, blowing from the west-northwest at 12 mph, and the water is a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a measly 19.
We're looking at a long drought, mate. From the 22nd of August right through to the morning of the 6th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Day after day of tiny, short-period windswell under 3ft, and when it’s not cross-on, it’s straight onshore. There are a few glassy mornings—like the 24th, 25th, 26th, and the 30th of August—but the swell is just too small, barely 1ft to 2ft. The energy is pathetic, barely cracking into the 20s and 30s. It’s frustrating.
The one glimmer on the horizon is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. That’s our stand-out. The forecast shows a jump in swell height to 4ft from the west-northwest with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 202, which is moderate wave energy. The wind is glassy, a light south-southwest air at 3 mph, meaning clean conditions. The report says "expect good surf conditions". For Hilton, this is the only real window. The swell direction is west-northwest, and the optimum for this reef is west-southwest, so it’s a bit off, but with that glassy morning, it’s the best on offer. It’s a reef, so it’ll handle that period. Just be aware that it is inconsistent, so you’ll have to wait for the sets.
Outside of that early session on the 6th, the afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore winds again. The swell then drops quickly. If you can’t make that one morning window, the whole 16-day run is a write-off.

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.
