The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about the next 16 days – it’s a tough stretch.
The overall pattern is flat and frustrating. The only break on the radar is Hilton, and it’s a reef setup that’s inconsistent and exposed to a WSW swell direction. The problem is, the wind is almost always coming from the wrong angle, or it’s so weak the swell just doesn’t show up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run.
From Monday 24th August right through to the morning of Monday 7th September, it’s grim. The wave heights barely nudge above 3 ft, and the swell period is stuck under 8 seconds – short, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy is pitiful, mostly in the teens and twenties, which is just a whisper of energy (31 on the 24th). The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 85°, but that’s no comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th August mornings offer a moment of glass, but with a 1 ft swell from the WNW, it’s barely a ripple. The winds are cross-on, the surf is poor, and the score is zero. Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th see a slight bump to 3 ft, but the wind is either onshore or cross-on, and the energy is still weak (66 to 83). There’s a few glassy mornings on 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th September, but the swell is non-existent.
The only flicker of life comes on Monday 7th September. The swell finally pushes over 4 ft, hitting 4 ft in the afternoon from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 179 – that’s moderate energy, but still on the lower end of the scale. The problem is the wind is onshore, so it’ll be choppy, and the break is a reef, so it’s not going to hold a clean line. For a beginner at Hilton, 4 ft to 4 ft is a bit much. For a more experienced surfer, it’s worth a look, but don’t expect perfection.
The best bet on offer is the morning of Monday 7th September. The swell is 4 ft from the WNW, the wind is light and cross-on, and the combined energy hits 142. It’s the most energy we’ve seen, but it’s still a poor surf condition. It’s the least bad option in a quiet period.
There is no standout. No golden window. It’s a long stretch of poor to non-existent surf. For a reef break that’s inconsistent, this is pretty normal for the area. Keep your fingers crossed for a change in the forecast, because right now, it’s all about waiting.
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.
