The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Honestly, mate, it’s a grim stretch ahead for Hilton. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and we’ve got a long, long run of nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at about 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – roughly two and a half degrees Fahrenheit above the long‑term average, so you’ll notice it’s a little bath‑like.
From now right through until the morning of Saturday, August 30th, it’s basically a write‑off. Swells are tiny – mostly around 1ft to 2ft – and the direction is a consistent WNW, which is cross‑on or onshore for most of that period. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values sitting between 13 and 37, just not enough push to do anything worthwhile. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on Tuesday, August 25th and Wednesday, August 26th, but with only 1ft and 2ft of swell, you’re looking at barely a ripple. Not worth the trip.
The first remotely surfable moment creeps in on Sunday morning, August 30th. We get a glassy morning with the wind swinging light from the north, and the swell bumps up to 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 50, but it’s the first time the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” Even then, it’s not a standout – just a small step up from the rest of the garbage.
Then it’s straight back into the poor surf conditions for days. Another very similar glimmer appears on Saturday morning, September 5th – glassy again, 2ft swell from the WNW, 8 second period, and a combined energy of 51. Again, surfable but ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle on a longboard, those two mornings – Sunday, August 30th and Saturday, September 5th – are your best bets. But don’t expect any kind of proper wave.
Overall, there’s no single standout session here. The waves are too small, too weak, and the consistency is shocking. Hilton is an inconsistent reef, and this forecast shows exactly why – you can go weeks without a proper wave. Long‑range improvements are so far off they’re not worth banking on.
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.
