The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Hilton, a reef break that gets a WSW swell. The next couple of weeks are rough, no two ways about it. The water is sitting around 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Right now, through to the 29th of August, it’s basically flat. The combined wave energy is barely registering, with the highest being 84 (84) on the 17th, and then it drops to almost nothing. Swell heights are tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surf junky. There’s a solid two-week gap where there’s no real recommendation.
The only flicker of hope comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The swell picks up to about 4ft to 4ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period. The combined energy climbs to 153 (153) in the morning and 197 (197) in the afternoon – that’s moderate energy, a big change from the flat spell. The wind is still cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the only time the swell is big enough to ride. It’s not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.
Monday the 31st of August has some leftover energy around 3ft and 122 (122), but it’s fading fast. After that, it’s back to tiny waves and glassy mornings that don’t deliver. For a reef break that’s already inconsistent, a long gap like this is pretty normal. Stick with it.
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.
