The Lowdown

Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. The next couple of weeks are looking like a proper drought for any decent waves. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy surf, with only a slight flicker of something halfway decent right at the tail end of the forecast. Keep the expectations low.

We're starting flat. From Sunday the 16th, all the way through Friday the 28th, it's a big blank run. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with short-period, wind-swell crud. The wave energy is mostly in the double digits, occasionally nudging just past 100 (like 133 on the 16th afternoon), but there's no power or shape to any of it. The mornings that are glassy, like the 19th and 22nd, will look nice, but with waves around 2 feet, you'll just be bobbing around. Other mornings have a light cross-onshore breeze that just ruffles up an already messy surface. It’s a good time to get the fins sorted or re-wax the board, because there’s nothing here.

The only wave we're watching is Hilton, which is a reef setup that's inconsistent at the best of times. It's exposed to all this junk. The water temp on that first morning is 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—not a big deal, but you'll be fine in boardshorts.

We finally see a pulse of something on Saturday the 29th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, and the energy jumps to 223, which finally feels like some moderate energy is in the water. It's still an 8-second period, so it's not going to be firing, and that light cross-on breeze will keep it a bit lumpy. But compared to what we've had, it's a step up. Still, it's a marginal call, so don't expect perfection.

Sunday the 30th holds that slightly better energy, with the swell pushing to 5ft and a combined energy of 294. This is the peak of the window. It's still an 8-second period and a light cross-onshore wind, so it won't be clean and glassy, but there should be some rideable, albeit rough, waves. This is the best on offer. A 5ft wave is starting to get a bit big for total beginners, but anyone with some experience can have a go.

After that, it fades back out quickly, dropping to 3ft on Monday the 31st, with the energy falling back off to 133, and the wind building to a moderate cross-onshore, chopping it all up again.

So, there you go. The first two weeks are a total loss. The light at the end of the tunnel is that Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August are showing a bit more promise with moderate energy. But that's about two weeks out, and things can change. We'll have to wait and see. For now, if you're keen, a longboard and low expectations are your best bet.

Rusty out.

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.
