The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. The outlook for the Hilton (reef) is pretty grim for most of the next two and a bit weeks. We've got an inconsistent break that's exposed to the swell and only really set up for beginners, but there's barely any swell to work with and the wind is a constant battle. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The immediate run is poor. Sunday the 16th is a write-off: cross-on wind and tiny 3ft swell from the WNW coming in at a short 8 seconds, giving us weak-to-moderate wave energy (116-133). It's just messy and small. Monday and Tuesday aren’t much better – Monday has onshore wind and a drop to 3ft, while Tuesday morning goes glassy with 3ft, but the period drops to 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (81). You might see a tiny crumbler, but it’s “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Honestly, that’s about the best you’ll get for a while.
From Wednesday the 19th all the way through to Saturday the 30th of August, it’s a long, bleak stretch. Swell drops to 1ft-3ft with periods between 5 and 7 seconds, and the combined energy is mostly between 12 and 57 – that’s weak to very weak. The wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, with occasional glassy mornings but no swell to back them up. There’s nothing to recommend here at all.
The only faint glimmer comes right at the end of the outlook. On Monday the 31st of August, there’s a slightly bigger 4ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy climbs to 228 (moderate), and the morning has a light cross-on wind. The report calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” but it’s the biggest pulse we’ve seen. For a learner at this inconsistent reef, it might be worth a look if you can work around the tide.
That’s it. A whole 16-day window with almost nothing to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, the persistent cross-onshore winds on afternoons might be more interesting than the surf. But for paddling, you’d be better off waiting for a proper groundswell to line up. Forecasts change, but right now, it’s a drought.

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.
