The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've scanned the charts for the next sixteen days, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The forecast is spitting out "poor surf conditions" across the board, so don't expect any magic. There's a solid run of flatness ahead, so let's just get into it.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle is Monday morning, the 27th of July. Even then, it's a struggle. The swell at Hooks is a tiny 1ft from the ESE with a short-period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 20. The water is a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends. A northerly cross-breeze is putting a chop on it, and it's just not worth suiting up.
You're looking at a long, dry gap. For the next week and a half, from that Monday right through to the following Sunday, the 9th of August, the swell is tiny – 0.3ft to 1.0ft – and the energy is pathetic, often in the single digits. The winds are a mixed bag, with a few moments of glassy or offshore conditions, like on Tuesday morning the 28th of July with a glassy SSW breeze, and Wednesday morning the 29th with a clean offshore WSW wind. But with essentially no swell to work with, it's just a flat, clean lake. There's nothing to ride.
The best we can point to is the very last day in the window, Monday the 10th of August. The morning offers a 2ft swell from the SE, but with a period of only 4 seconds, it's junky and won't have any push. The combined energy is a measly 17, and a light cross-onshore breeze will leave it bumpy. The afternoon sees a similar 2ft swell from the SE, but again, it's a short-period, weak (40 energy) affair with a moderate cross-onshore wind ruining any chance of a clean face. The 11th of August is the same story.
Honestly, there's no standout. There's no standout. With hardly any swell and constant onshore or cross-shore winds, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The Hooks is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, but it needs a pulse to work. This blank run is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change, so don't lose all hope.
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.
