Alright gang, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Hooks. I’ll level with you—this forecast is a dud. Tiny swell, messy winds, and not a single day that gets the heart pumping. The overall pattern is flat and uninspiring.
The first thing worth mentioning is Saturday morning, July 4th. We get a 1ft pulse from the ESE with a 9-second period. Combined energy is weak (41), but the wind is dead calm—glassy. It’ll be clean, but barely breaking. Not worth suiting up unless you’re keen for a paddle.
After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Tuesday morning July 7th and Wednesday morning July 8th both have clean conditions thanks to WSW offshore winds, but the swell is only 1ft to 1ft, with energy in the 29 to 43 range. Surfable but very ordinary. The afternoons get chopped up by cross-onshore breezes. Ugly.
This pattern drags through the second week. Swells stay small—between 2ft and 3ft—mostly from the SE with short periods (4 to 8 seconds). Clean mornings pop up here and there, like Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th, but the waves are gutless. Best of the bunch might be Saturday July 18th morning: 3ft ESE swell, 8-second period, clean with offshore wind, energy moderate at 80. The afternoon ramps to 3ft and energy hits 103, but the wind swings cross-on and messy.
No standout here. Hooks likes NE swell, but we’re getting weak E to SE windswell. Water temp is a toasty 85°F, a touch warmer than usual. Crowds are sometimes a thing, but with this forecast, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: a long, flat stretch with nothing worth chasing. Forecasts can change, but for now, take the time off.
Rusty.

Information about the Hooks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hooks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hooks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hooks 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 (Hooks) 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 Hooks 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.
