The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hilton is a tough one. We’re looking at a real dry spell for any decent surf. From now, right through to the start of September, the conditions are just locked in a rut of small, weak swell and wind that’s almost always working against us. The waves are tiny, the energy is low, and the reports are all saying the same thing: poor surf.
There’s a gap of several days with absolutely nothing to recommend. The morning of Tuesday the 1st of September is the first time we get a tiny flicker of hope. For a brief moment, the wind drops to glassy, calm. That’s a major positive for clean conditions. Swell is small at 3 ft from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds and weak energy (74). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’d be out there for the peace and quiet, not the waves.
Through the rest of the first week of September, it’s back to the same story. Small, weak swell in the 2 ft to 2 ft range, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There are a few more glassy moments on the mornings of Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, but again, the swell just isn’t there to back it up. The energy stays weak, under 55 in those calm slots.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday morning of the 8th of September. The swell picks up a touch to 3 ft from the WNW, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs into the moderate zone at 116. The wind is light cross-onshore, which is a bit of a bummer, but it’s the best wave height we see in the whole run. Still, it’s not enough to get excited about for a reef break that’s inconsistent and exposed to a cross-onshore wind.
Hilton is a beginner-friendly reef, and nothing here gets big enough to worry about size. The 2 ft to 3 ft range is fine for learning, but the quality just isn’t there. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
This is a classic blank run for this area. It’s a quiet patch. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and go for a swim.
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.
