The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the waves. I’m not gonna lie, this is a tough stretch for us. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that’s gonna have you calling in sick. We’re in for a long, flat spell. The swell just isn’t showing up, and it’s gonna be a real grind for a while.
The first week and a half are just dead. From the 10th right through to the 17th, we are looking at tiny, weak waves. We’re talking ankle-biters in the 1ft to 2ft range, with periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. The energy is pathetic too, with the combined energy reading just 15 or so. It’s poor surf conditions across the board, day after day. A couple of mornings, like Thursday the 13th and Sunday the 16th, will have that glassy, light wind feel, but there’s just no power behind it to make it worth your while. You’d be spending more time paddling than riding.
Now, the second week gets a little more interesting, but it’s still not setting the world on fire. Starting around Monday the 18th, we finally see some life. The swell climbs a bit, reaching a whopping 3ft on the Monday and Tuesday. That’s the high point. The period stretches out to a less impressive 7 or 8 seconds, so still a bit short and crumbly. The energy is up, too, hitting the 75-83 range, which is a moderate amount of push, but the onshore winds in the afternoons will chop it up. And even with this bump, the data still says "poor surf conditions."
By Wednesday the 19th, it’s already starting to back off. The swell drops back down to 2ft and the energy fades. From then on, it’s a slow downhill slide back into the flatness for the rest of the month. The final days of August are looking just as quiet as the start.
So, what can I tell you? If you’ve got the itch, the best (and I use that term loosely) bet would be a morning session around Monday the 18th or Tuesday the 19th. You’ll have the biggest swell of the window at about 3ft from the WNW, and light SW winds will keep it cleaner. But that’s not saying much. It’s going to be a long, flat August.
As for Hilton, it’s a beginner reef break, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that the swell is so small and weak. I wouldn't get too excited about that one; it's inconsistent at the best of times, and this isn't the best of times. The water is about average for this time of year, so a normal summer wetsuit is fine. For now, we just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but this one looks stubbornly quiet.
Alright, that’s all from me. Keep your boards waxed and your eyes on the horizon.
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.
