The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Alright, let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the next 16 days and, honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Hilton. There simply isn't a single good surf option on the table. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is mostly junk. We’ve got a long run of poor conditions stretching right through to the 24th of August. The energy in the water is weak, with combined readings in the low 20s to low 90s on the better days, but that’s still not enough to make anything worthwhile. It’s a classic early-season lull, and it’s going to test your patience.
The first few days are all about small, wind-blown slop. Sunday the 9th has a 2ft west-northwest swell with a weak 6-second period, but the cross-on breeze is chopping it all up. The energy is a paltry 38, and it’s just not worth getting wet. The pattern keeps repeating through the week: tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, periods stuck at 6 to 7 seconds, and either cross or cross-on winds. There’s a brief moment of glass on Wednesday the 12th morning, but with only 2ft of that short-period stuff, it’s still a flat, gutless affair. The same goes for the morning of the 20th and the 21st – a couple of glassy windows, but the swell is barely a ripple.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°F with a 3°F anomaly, which is notable but not crazy. It’s warm, but that won’t save this forecast.
Looking further out, the swell tries to nudge up a little around the 17th and 18th, with the energy climbing to 90 and 93, and wave heights reaching 3ft. But the period is still a weak 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore and cross-onshore. It’s going to be a bumpy, messy mess. Even the glassy mornings on the 23rd and 24th have nothing behind them – just 1ft of weak, short-period swell.
The only real positive is that Hilton is a consistent reef, so it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change, and a groundswell could sneak in. But as it stands, this is a blank run. If you’re absolutely desperate, the water is warm, and you could get a few sloppy, knee-high rollers on a board with plenty of foam. But for a real surf, you’re better off finding another hobby for a fortnight.
Take care of yourselves.
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.
