The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size it up. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and slow. There’s a bit of a bump coming late in the month, but it’s not going to set the world on fire.
From Thursday the 16th of July through the weekend, the surf is tiny. We’re talking 0.9m max, with cross-onshore wind and a short period. The water is 82°F, which is normal for the season. The wave energy is weak, only around 93 (combined energy), so don’t bother.
Then we hit a real dry spell. From Monday the 20th of July to Thursday the 23rd of July, the swell drops to 0.4m to 0.6m, with light cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is in the single digits and low teens. It’s flat, plain and simple.
The only chance of a wave shows up on Friday the 24th of July. The swell builds to 1.4m by the afternoon, from the WNW, with an 8-second period. The wave energy is 220 (combined energy), which is moderate. But the wind is onshore at 20 km/h, and it’s messy. Saturday the 25th of July morning sees the biggest swell of the period at 1.5m, with the wave energy at 253 (combined energy), but again, the wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 15 km/h. The break is a reef, which can handle some swell, but with that wind, it’s going to be choppy. For a beginner, 1.5m is a bit much, and the quality is poor.
After that, the swell fades. From Sunday the 26th of July onward, we’re back to 0.9m and smaller, with cross-onshore wind and weak energy. The rest of the month looks average.
The pick? If you’re keen, the morning of Saturday the 25th of July at Hilton offers the biggest swell at 1.5m from the WNW. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it won’t be clean. The morning of Thursday the 24th of July is smaller but a bit cleaner. There’s no standout here. It’s a slow period, but forecasts can change. Right now, I’d say give it a miss.

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.
