The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Hilton over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you: it’s a lean stretch. We’re looking at a long dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
For the first ten days or so, from Monday the 24th of August right through to early September, it’s a write-off. Tiny, weak swell – most days seeing barely 0.7ft to 3ft of tiny WNW windswell with a short, gutless 5 to 7 second period. The combined wave energy is pitiful, mostly well under 100 (25 down to 3 at its lowest). On top of that, the wind is almost always a cross-onshore or worse, trashing what little bump there is. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 25th, Sunday the 30th, and Wednesday the 2nd of September, but even then the swell is so small and weak you’d be struggling to get a ride. It’s just not happening. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Finally, on Tuesday the 8th of September, we get a proper flicker of hope. The morning brings a glassy start with a 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period bumping up to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 226 (moderate), and the forecast is calling it “good surf conditions.” This is the stand-out session of the entire 16-day window. For a beginner-friendly reef break like Hilton, that’s the kind of clean, small-to-medium day that gets the stoke going. Wind is calm to light, so expect clean, peeling lines. Don’t expect much else after that.
So, bottom line: don’t bother with a board for the first week and a half. Wait for that Tuesday the 8th of September morning session – that’s your one real chance to get a few glassy ones at Hilton.
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.
