The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The next 16 days at Hilton are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s just no decent surf on offer across the entire forecast period. We’ve got a long, blank run ahead with nothing to recommend, so brace yourself for a quiet spell.
Let’s talk about what we’ve got, though. The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nice for a swim, but not helping the waves. The swell is tiny, coming mostly from the WNW, with heights barely scraping 3 ft on the best days. The period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, windswell energy with no real power behind it. The combined energy tops out at a moderate 103 on the morning of Sunday, August 16, but even that’s a tease—it’s still poor surf conditions.
The wind is a constant problem. For most of the period, it’s blowing cross-onshore or onshore, with speeds around 12 mph, chopping up whatever little bumps are there. There are a few glassy moments—like the morning of Wednesday, August 19, and Friday, August 21, and again on Wednesday, August 26—but the swell is so small (1 ft to 2 ft) that it’s barely rideable. Even then, it’s inconsistent, and the reef break rarely breaks properly.
This is a spot that’s exposed to the swell, but the optimum direction from the WSW is not matching what we’re getting—the WNW swell is just not lining up. It’s a beginner-friendly reef, but with no wave to speak of, there’s nothing for anyone.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Sunday, August 27, might offer a glimmer—2 ft from the WNW, glassy conditions, and light cross-offshore wind. But it’s still weak and inconsistent, and the crowds are sometimes a factor here. Honestly, this is a kite surfer’s setup more than a paddle surfer’s—the onshore wind and small chop are more interesting for them.
I’ll be honest: this is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye out. But for now, the surf’s a no-go.
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.
