The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hilton. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The wave energy is just not there for a proper paddle session. The swell is tiny, wind is mostly messy, and the scores reflect that. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about.
The first half of the outlook is a write-off. From Saturday the 8th of August right through to the end of the week, we’ve got tiny slop. Swell heights are hanging around the 1ft to 3ft mark, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds – that’s just windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is weak, often hitting single-digit or low double-digit values (like 18 to 53). The water temperature at Hilton is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable if you’re just floating, but there’s nothing to ride.
The wind is the real killer. Most mornings are seeing a light cross-onshore breeze, and afternoons get a moderate cross-onshore chop. There are a few glassy windows – like Wednesday morning the 12th, and Friday morning the 14th, but even then, the swell is too small (1ft to 2ft) to do anything with. It’s a case of “no waves, just a pretty view.”
We get a tiny bump around Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. The swell picks up to 3ft to 4ft from the NW, with periods still short at 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the triple digits (109 to 126), which is a moderate energy level, but the wind is still cross-onshore, chopping it up. It’s a poor surf quality call across the board. For a beginner, 3ft is manageable, but with that wind, it’s a mess.
The best of a bad bunch, if you even want to call it that, is the morning of Monday the 17th of August. You’ve got a 4ft NW swell, light cross-onshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, and the combined energy is 109. It’s still not good, but it’s the biggest push we see. The swell direction is from the NW, which is off the optimum WSW for Hilton, so it’s not wrapping in clean. The break is a reef, inconsistent, and crowds are sometimes an issue, but you won’t have to worry about that with this quality.
Honestly, for the 16-day window, there’s no standout. This stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’ve got the gear. For a surfer, it’s a solid blank run. It’s common for this area to go quiet, so don’t be too shocked. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.
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.
