Hazards

JETTY The T-shaped jetty organizes the wave but creates rip and current near its base — stay aware of your position relative to it.
CROWDS Israel's most famous and most crowded surf spot — expect a busy lineup on any decent swell.
MIXED BOTTOM Reef/sand mix bottom — mostly forgiving but watch footing near the jetty rocks.
SHELTERED The marina and jetty shelter this spot from straight W wind, handling wind up to ~20kt from other directions reasonably well.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid tide · rising
Peak season Oct–Apr · W/NW swell · The historic heart of Israeli surfing
Swell key W/NW swell · Reef/sand mix, jetty-organized peaks · Best with offshore E/SE wind
Level Beginner–intermediate · Sheltered by the jetty, mushy on small days, real A-frames on bigger ones
Dawn patrol Early is best here — Hilton gets crowded fast once the city wakes up, especially on weekends.
