The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at the Hilton reef break. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, nothin’ weird there. But honestly, this stretch of the outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. The first real surf we see is from Thursday the 16th of July, and it’s nothin’ to write home about. We’ve got tiny swell, poor conditions, and hardly any energy – the combined energy of all swells directed here is only 93 (weak). That’s a long, quiet run.
From Thursday morning through to Sunday the 19th, the swell hovers around 2ft to 3ft from the WNW, with periods short – 7 to 8 seconds. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, so the face is bumpy. Saturday morning and Sunday morning do turn glassy with a slight air, but the swell is barely there, combined energy as low as 29 and 32 (weak). Not worth paddlin’ out for.
Monday the 20th through to Saturday the 25th of July gets even flatter – swell drops to 1ft to 3ft, periods dip to 5–7 seconds, and the combined energy falls to 15–54 (weak). Winds stay cross-onshore or onshore, with a moderate breeze making it choppy. No standouts, no juice.
Then Sunday the 26th of July is another flat day, but then Monday the 27th of July we see a small bump – swell picks up to 4ft from the WNW, period creeping to 7–8 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 123 (moderate). That’s the biggest energy we’ve seen. But the winds are still cross-onshore, and the conditions are poor surf. For a beginner reef, 4ft is small enough, but the cross-onshore chop will make it a messy paddle. Not a day to get excited about.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th of July hold similar 3ft to 4ft WNW swell with moderate energy (165 and 113), but the onshore and cross-onshore winds keep it looking poor. This reef is inconsistent, and in this stretch, it’s just not firing. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with those onshore winds and small, lumpy waves.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July fade back to 2ft, weak energy, poor conditions. The whole 16-day window is a blank run – no real surf on offer. The good news is the reef is inconsistent by nature, so this kind of quiet spell is normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
