The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Hilton.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We're talking about a stretch of small, weak swell and a whole lot of onshore wind. It's one of those periods where you might be better off cleaning the wax off your board or just having a cold one at the beach, because the surf is going to be a struggle. The first half of the run, from Saturday the 18th right through to the end of July, is a write-off for anything decent. The swell is tiny, barely hitting 2.3ft, and the period is short, meaning the waves are just gonna be fat and weak. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little bump there is. There's a bit of a lift in the energy around the 24th and 25th, but it's still plagued by poor conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there, but it won't make up for the lack of waves.
The standout, if you can even call it that, is a few fleeting moments of glassy conditions. You'll get a glass-off on the morning of Sunday the 19th, and again on Monday the 20th morning and Wednesday the 29th morning. The swell is still pathetic – 1.6ft, 1.3ft, and 2.0ft respectively – but with the wind going flat, it'll be clean. For a beginner at this reef break, those tiny, clean waves are your only real chance to get a few wobbly rides.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. The swell direction stays stuck in the WNW, and the wind just won't let up. The combined energy on the 27th of July morning hits 165 (moderate), but with a period of only 8 seconds and cross-onshore winds, it's just going to be messy. Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the conditions are so poor and the swell so small that this reef setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. Save your energy.

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.
