The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this outlook for the Hilton area is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window that's mostly a flat spell with poor conditions, and there's a long gap of hopeless surf before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
The first real sniff of action isn't until Tuesday, 1st September. Before that, from Friday, 28th August right through the weekend, we've got tiny, weak swells with onshore winds. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 85°F, but that's about the only nice thing going on.
Now, Tuesday morning, 1st September is your best bet. It's not a standout in the classic sense, but it's the only time the stars almost align. Hilton is a reef break, inconsistent, and only for beginners. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds, so it's weak. The combined swell energy is a measly 74 (weak). But the wind is light from the NNE at 3 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'd agree. It's tiny, but it's clean. Crowds are possible here, so you might have company for the small stuff.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. Wednesday, 2nd September morning is clean again with a NNE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 1ft. You'll be floating more than riding. The rest of the week and into the next is a mix of glassy mornings and choppy afternoons, but the swell never gets above 3ft and the period stays short. The combined energy rarely breaks 100. It's a real flat spell.
For the second week, from Sunday, 7th September onwards, there are a few more mornings with glassy conditions and a hint of swell, like Monday, 7th September morning with 3ft from the WNW, but it's still weak and the afternoons get chopped up. The same pattern repeats right through to Saturday, 12th September. There's just no real energy in the water.
Bottom line: If you're desperate for a paddle on Tuesday morning, 1st September, you might get a few tiny, clean waves. Otherwise, it's a blank run. The forecasts can change, but for now, the surf is on a serious holiday.
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.
