The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the Hilton reef break over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands, with barely a whisper of rideable surf for the majority of the forecast. The first real chance of anything resembling a wave doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, the 31st of July.

Overall Pattern

The pattern is frustratingly flat and wonky. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and poorly directed swell with a lot of cross-onshore wind. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re staring at the flat ocean. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low double digits, which is very weak – the kind of energy that makes you wonder if the ocean is even breathing.

The Breakdown

Let’s start from the beginning. The Hilton (reef) gets a total blank for the first few days. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July has a combined energy of just 34 and a 2ft swell from the WNW with a short 6-second period. It’s poor. Wednesday and Thursday aren’t any better.

Then we get a tiny glimmer. On the morning of Friday, the 31st of July, we finally see a score that’s not a zero. It’s still small – 2ft from the NW with an 8-second period – but the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. The combined energy climbs to 76, which is still weak but it’s the best we’ve seen. You’ll be on a longboard, scraping for little thigh-high runners, but at least it’ll be clean. It’s barely surfable but it’s the only window in the first week. The afternoon of that same day, the wind swings back to a cross-onshore NW breeze, chopping it up again.

After that Friday morning window, it’s back to the doldrums. From Saturday the 1st of August, all the way through to the 11th of August, the forecast is a wasteland. Swell heights mostly under 2ft, periods short, and the combined energy drops right back into the teens and twenties. The wind is a constant problem – mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a morning on the 8th of August with glassy conditions again, but the swell is only 2ft with a combined energy of 31, so it’s barely a ripple.

The One And Only Standout

If you’re desperate for a paddle, the only true standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Friday, the 31st of July. It’s the only time the conditions line up for a clean, albeit tiny, session. The 2ft NW swell, with that glassy wind, will be as good as it gets. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but with the reef bottom, you’ll want to be aware of the shallow sections. The break is inconsistent, so be patient between sets.

After that, the next chance doesn’t look promising until the 12th of August. The swell picks up a little on the Wednesday morning, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and an 8-second period, and the combined energy finally hits 98 – the highest of the entire run. But the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSW, causing small ripples. It’s still poor surf conditions according to the forecast, so it’s a long way out and likely to be messy. The afternoon of the 12th sees the swell hit 3ft with a combined energy of 107 (moderate energy), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy again.

Final Word

Look, it’s a quiet period. The reef is an exposed spot, and it’s just not catching anything worthwhile. The Friday morning glass-off on the 31st is your one and only realistic shot for a clean, if tiny, session. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the run. Keep the board waxed and the coffee hot, and check back in a few days, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
