The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – looking at this 16-day stretch, we’ve got a long, dry spell on our hands. The only break on the radar is Hilton, a reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s not delivering much. There’s a massive gap of surf so poor it’s barely worth mentioning until we hit Tuesday morning, September 1st.
Forget the first few days. From Friday the 28th to Monday the 31st of August, it’s all cross-onshore wind and tiny, weak dribble. The combined wave energy barely gets out of double digits, sitting at a pathetic 8 to 12 for most of Friday. Sunday morning sees a jump to 6ft swell but the energy reading of 376 still means poor surf, with a strong onshore wind ruining any chance of a wave face.
Tuesday morning, September 1st, is our first little glimmer. We get a glassy window at Hilton, with a small 3ft swell from the WNW at 8 seconds. The energy is still weak at 66, but with no wind, it’ll be ridable for a beginner. The afternoon turns to rubbish again, and we see this pattern repeat – short windows of glassy mornings followed by choppy afternoons.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is Monday morning, September 7th. Absolutely dead calm wind, glassy as a lake, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW. The period is a short 7 seconds, and combined energy is just 48, so it’s not powerful, but for a longboard or a foiler, it might just be the best we see. Crowds are listed as *sometimes*, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After that, it trails off again into tiny, weak surf through to the end of the run on September 12th. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Honestly, for paddle surfing, this whole outlook is a tough one. The setup at Hilton, with onshore wind and small weak swell, looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session, especially on those Sunday the 30th afternoons.
Hang in there, but don't hold your breath.

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.
