The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Hilton over the next few weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a bleak stretch ahead. This is a reef break that’s exposed to a WSW swell direction, but the swell we’re getting is mostly coming from the WNW, which isn’t its best angle. We’re looking at a 16-day window with no good surf options on offer.
The first record we’ve got starts on the afternoon of Sunday, July 19th, and honestly, it’s a write-off from the get-go. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing here. The swell is tiny, only 2 ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 26. The wind is blowing cross-on from the WNW at 12 mph, chopping everything up. It’s poor surf, plain and simple.
This pattern pretty much holds solid for the next week. We roll through Monday the 20th with a glassy morning but only 1 ft of swell (energy of 16), and then it gets cross-onshore again in the afternoon. Tuesday the 21st through to Friday the 24th is a rinse and repeat of small, weak, short-period swells between 1 ft and 3 ft, with the energy staying under 100, and cross-on or onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean wave. The water stays warm, but the surf is just not there.
We get a little bump on the morning of Saturday, July 25th, where the swell hits 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy climbs to 117 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind is cross-shore from the south at 6 mph, and the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.” The direction is off, and the period is still short. It’s not gonna be worth the paddle.
From Sunday, July 26th, all the way through to Monday, August 3rd, we’re stuck in the same rut. Swell heights hover between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, periods rarely get above 8 seconds, and the energy is almost always in the weak double digits. The wind is either cross-on, onshore, or occasionally cross-off or glassy, but the swell is so small and weak it doesn’t matter. The 26th morning has a brief clean window with light NNE cross-off winds, but the swell is only 1 ft – it’s flat.
There’s simply no standout, no recommended session, no window where the stars align. This is a classic blank run for this area. When the swell is this small and the wind is constantly against you at a reef that needs a specific direction, you just have to wait for the next system. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Keep the board in the car, but leave the wetsuit at home. This one’s a washout.
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.
