The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Hilton reef. Honestly, I’d be lying if I said there was much to get excited about here. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any proper surf. The first half of the outlook is a total dud, with no real swell and lousy conditions. The best we see is a tiny window of glassy, surfable’ish waves right at the very end of the first week, but even then it’s barely a ripple.
Let’s break it down. It starts Tuesday, 28 July, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, period a meager 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 29, and it’s coming straight onshore with a WSW wind at 5 km/h. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°F, but that doesn’t help the surf. The whole week is a write-off: the swell stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, with short periods and cross-onshore winds. By Friday, 31 July, the swell is still only 2ft and the energy is weak (64). It’s just poor.
We finally get a tiny glimmer on Friday morning, 7 August. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, period 7 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – light SSW at 5 km/h. The energy is still weak at 57, but it’s the only moment in the whole run where the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a beginner-level wave, but at least it’ll be clean. Hilton is a reef break, inconsistent, and it’s exposed to swell from the WSW. The morning of the 7th is the only time I’d even bother paddling out, and that’s a stretch.
After that brief moment, it’s back to the doldrums. Saturday and Sunday mornings (8 and 9 August) are also glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft and then 1ft. The energy is pitiful, down to 20 and then 7. You’d be floating. The second week (from 10 August onward) is just more of the same – tiny swell, mostly cross-onshore breeze, and weak energy. The only minor spike is on Wednesday morning, 12 August, when the swell hits 3ft from the WNW, period 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 110 – but it’s blown out by a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph. The wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
So, what’s the call? The only standout is the glassy morning of Friday, 7 August, at Hilton. The wave is small, clean, and for a beginner on a reef, it might be a fun little session. But don’t expect much. The rest is a flat, blown-out mess. For a reef break that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be hanging the board up for a while. This is kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
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.
