The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Hooks over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch. There's nothing on offer for the first week. The surf is just not there. The waves that do show up are small, weak, and the wind is all wrong. It's a bit of a flat spell, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 100 (37 to 79) for days, it's just a lot of small, wind-affected slop. This isn't unusual for the area when there's no proper swell running.
We finally get a little glimmer of hope on Sunday, August 9th. The morning shows some glassy conditions at Hooks with a light offshore breeze from the south, and the swell is a tiny 4ft from the southeast. The combined energy is a modest 170, so it's weak but it's something. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. Not a standout by any means.
The following Monday morning, the 10th, is another quick window with glassy conditions and a 3ft swell from the southeast, but the energy is only 53, so it's barely a ripple. The rest of the second week stays small, with the swell dropping to 1ft to 2ft on cleaner days, but the energy is pitifully low (14 to 35). The best windows are the mornings with offshore winds from the west or west-northwest on the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 16th, but the waves are tiny. For a beginner, the small clean rollers on the 9th or 10th morning might be something to paddle into, but for anyone else, there's just no power.
There is no one standout session here. The whole period is a write-off for decent surf. The 9th and 10th mornings are the only real options, and those are only if you're desperate for a paddle.
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.
