Topsy Surf Guide
Just to the north of Hilton lies its little brother, Topsea Beach, aka Hilton B. Hiding between two jetties and breaking over a small, shallow piece of reef, this spot might not hold the size that Hilton does, but its consistent power and slabby shape draws crowds on any given day. It’s a very localized spot, especially when compared to Hilton which can be a zoo on certain days. Likes E winds, but can handle S and SSW quite well.
Ability Level
Intermediate - Advanced
Topsea breaks over a shallow reef and can be quite steep. Beginners have no business being here.
Local Vibe
Intimidating
Hungry, aggressive and competitive. And locals are usually out from sunrise to sunset.
Crowd Factor
Moderate
Can get super crowded, as there’s only one peak. Don't expect to find yourself alone out there.
Spot Rating
Fun
One of Tel Aviv’s better breaks, Topsea can pick up any swell that’s out there and turn it into super playful rights and lefts.
Shoulder Burn
Light
Easy paddle on all days with the jetties.
Water Quality
Fair
As with most spots in the center of a big city, water quality can be an issue, especially during winter.

Shallow reef.
