The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hilton is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first real nod to anything surfable doesn't show up until Wednesday the 16th, and even then, it's a very marginal affair.
We kick off the 10th with dead-flat, glassy mornings but the swell is a measly 2ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 26, so it's a total non-starter. Afternoon winds pick up, turning it choppy and messy. This pattern pretty much holds through the entire first week and into the next. We get glassy calm mornings almost every day, but the swell is stuck around 1ft to 2ft – a tiny, weak windswell from the WNW with periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy stays in the low teens to 20s, just not enough to break properly.
The only flicker of life comes on Wednesday morning the 16th. We get a slight bump to 3ft from the WNW, period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs to 66. The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, but the data still calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a tiny, weak wave for a beginner at a reef break that is inconsistent. Even then, the afternoon turns into a cross-onshore mess.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The morning of the 24th of September, which is over two weeks away, shows a pulse of longer-period swell – 4ft from the WNW with an 11-second period and a combined energy of 324. That sounds promising, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, and the data still calls it "poor surf conditions." It's a long way off and uncertain.
The reality is, Hilton is a reef break that's exposed to the WSW, and we're getting tiny, short-period WNW swell most days. The few times the energy picks up, the wind is on it or it's cross-shore, trashing what little shape there is. For a beginner, the swell never gets above 5ft, so it's not dangerous for size, but it's just not there. With the tiny swell and poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the majority of this forecast.
Signing off, 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.
