The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a pretty grim outlook. The whole 16-day window is a real flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing special, with the first real chance of a wave not showing up until Friday, September 11th, and even then it's a tough sell. Before that, we've got ten days of really small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. It's a long wait.
The only spot we've got to work with is Hilton (reef). For the beginner crew, this is usually a safe bet, but it's rated as "inconsistent," so it needs the right push. For most of this run, the combined energy is barely a whisper, with values mostly sitting between 11 and 57 (weak energy). That's not enough to get excited about.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on the morning of Friday, September 11th. Swell builds to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, bumping the combined energy up to 131 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SSW, which is a positive. The afternoon sees the swell push to 4 ft and the energy to 151, but the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which will mess it up. If you're a beginner, that 4 ft morning session is your only real window, but it's not a standout.
The morning of Saturday, September 12th has a similar look with 3 ft from the WNW and light cross-onshore winds, but the energy is dropping back to 81 (weak). It's a slight improvement over the flat days, but nothing to write home about.
Look, there's nothing here that's a true standout. The swell is tiny, the period is short (6-8 seconds), and the wind is rarely in our favour. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. For a more experienced surfer, it's a straight-up blank. With the small, poor quality surf and the onshore winds, some of these sessions might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The forecast is reliable for the near-term, and that's the problem – it's reliably poor. We're in a dry spell, and it tends to stay this way for a while. The long-range stuff in the second week is a bit more promising, but still very uncertain. For now, save your energy and wax up your board for another day.
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.
