The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through it. Here at Hilton, it’s a rough patch. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and the forecast is a long stretch of poor waves. The swell direction is about right, but the size is lacking and the energy is weak.
You’re looking at a week of nothing good. From the 16th through the 24th, it’s flat or tiny, with waves under 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. There are a few glassy mornings, but the swell is so small it’s not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is almost always in the double digits, way under 100, which is weak.
The first real sign of life comes on the 25th of July, Saturday morning. The swell kicks up to 4ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period. The energy hits 165, which is moderate. The wind is a light cross-on from the SSW, so it’s not glassy, but it’s not blowing you off your line. That’s your best bet. It’s still not a great wave, but it’s the most size you’ll see. For a beginner reef, 4ft is a bit much, but you can handle it. The water is a warm 82°, right around normal for this time of year.
After that, the 27th of July Monday afternoon has a similar 4ft pulse with 135 energy, but again, the wind is cross-on and messy. The rest of the window just fades back into the same small, choppy junk.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, the consistent moderate cross-onshore winds on the afternoons might be more fun than anything on a surfboard. For paddling, the morning of the 25th is your only real window, but it’s a gamble.

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.
