The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Hilton has got cooking for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s not a single day in this whole 16-day window that I’d call a standout. In fact, there are no good surf options at all. This is one of those blank runs that just happens sometimes around here. The swell energy stays weak – most of the time we’re looking at values in the 10 to 34 range (weak energy), just barely flickering up to around 125 (weak to moderate) on the 25th, but even that comes with poor conditions. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s looking pretty grim.
Let’s break it down day by day. Starting Tuesday 14 July, the swell at Hilton is tiny – 0.7m (about 2 ft) from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. Winds are cross-onshore from the SSW at 10 km/h (6 mph), and the wave comment says "poor surf conditions." The energy is a measly 34. That continues through Wednesday 15 July with a slightly better 0.9m (3 ft) swell (period 8 secs) and energy up to 93, but still cross-onshore. Thursday 16 July, same story – 0.9m (3 ft) and 8 seconds, but by afternoon the wind picks up to 20 km/h (12 mph) from the NW, making it choppy. Friday 17 July, the swell drops to 0.5m (2 ft) and 6 seconds, energy down to 23. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 18 July morning, we get a bit of relief – winds go glassy from the WSW at only 5 km/h (3 mph). But the swell is still just 0.6m (2 ft) at 7 seconds, energy 31. The water temp is not mentioned, so let’s say it’s about average for the time of year. Still, "poor surf conditions" is the call. Sunday 19 July morning is glassy again with 0.6m (2 ft) swell, but the energy is only 33. By afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore again. This pattern of tiny swell and poor conditions just drags on through the week. Monday 20 July, Tuesday 21 July, Wednesday 22 July – all the same: swell below 0.7m (2 ft), weak energy, and cross-onshore or onshore winds. Crowds at Hilton are listed as "sometimes," so there could be a few out, but honestly, not even the locals will be excited.
Even when we get to Saturday 25 July, the biggest swell in the forecast – 1.0m (3 ft) from the WNW with an 8-second period and energy of 125 – it’s still rated "poor surf conditions" with onshore winds from the W at 20 km/h (12 mph) in the afternoon. That’s not rideable for anyone who wants a decent wave. The rest of the run into the end of July is just more of the same: 0.5m to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft), short period, poor quality. The setup at Hilton, being a reef break, usually needs a proper swell to work, and with the wind mostly cross-onshore or onshore, there’s really nothing to get excited about.
So, my honest take? Leave the boards in the car for this stretch. The water might feel about average for July, but the surf is a no-go. If a storm pops up somewhere and changes things, we’ll see, but as it stands, this is a washout. Keep your eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
