The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly average to messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 85°F at Hilton, which is 4°F warmer than usual – that's much warmer than normal for this time of year. Let's walk through it.
For the first week and a half, it's a bit of a write-off. From now right through to the morning of Saturday the 26th, we're seeing nothing but tiny waves – mostly around 1ft to 3ft – with very weak combined swell energy (values between 1 and 69). The period is short, around 5 to 7 seconds, so there's just no push. A few mornings are glassy, like Tuesday morning the 15th (2ft, 31 energy) and Wednesday morning the 16th (3ft, 69 energy), but the swell is too small and weak to do much with. Afternoons get choppy with cross-onshore winds. It's basically a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for. There's one glimmer on Sunday morning the 27th – a 4ft NW swell with a 7-second period and combined energy of 122, which is moderate. Winds are light cross-offshore and clean, so Hilton could actually be surfable then. Still, very ordinary conditions.
Then Monday morning the 28th has a similar story: 3ft WNW swell, clean cross-offshore breeze, and 70 energy. Not a standout by any stretch, but the cleanest window in a bleak run.
Honestly, there's nothing here that I'd call a true standout. If I had to pick the best on offer, it's that Sunday the 27th morning at Hilton – a little bump of moderate energy (122) with clean winds. But for a reef break that's inconsistent and exposed to WSW, the swell direction is off and the period is short, so the shape won't be anything special. Crowds are possible here sometimes. For beginners, the size is fine under 5ft, but the quality just isn't there.
It's a blank run for the area – not unusual when conditions stay this flat for so long. Forecasts can always change, but for now, keep the board in the car just in case, but don't hold your breath.
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.
