The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for our local stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead, and I mean that in the worst way. The charts are showing a whole lot of nothing for days on end, so don’t be getting your hopes up for any quick sessions. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s got any life in it.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t come until the end of the month. From now until the 28th of August, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak swells with periods too short to do anything, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up anything that might try to form. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with values in the teens and twenties. You’d be better off swimming.
Things finally start to stir on the morning of Friday, the 28th of August. The swell picks up a bit to 2ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 75. Still, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s going to be a bit choppy. It’s not great, but it’s the first sign of life.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy jumping to 149. That’s the most juice we’ll see all period. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is better than onshore, but it’ll still be a little lumpy. This is the best on offer. For a spot like Hilton, a reef break that’s usually inconsistent, it might just be worth a look. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is close to the optimum swell direction of WSW for this spot, so it should wrap in decently. Keep in mind, though, that this swell is only 4ft, so it’s still manageable for most, but it’s not a clean, glassy day.
The Sunday morning, the 30th of August, is similar, with a 4ft swell from the W and combined energy of 153, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a bit bumpier. The crowds at Hilton are sometimes a problem, so if you’re heading out on the Saturday, expect a few locals out.
After that, it all fades away again. The outlook for the start of September is nothing but tiny, weak surf and onshore winds. It’s a grim one, folks. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
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.
