Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hooks over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this in feet and miles.
This 16-day stretch at Hooks is flat, plain and simple. The first time anything even looks like it might break is a single afternoon—Wednesday, July 22nd. And I’m being generous.
That afternoon, we get a tiny 2ft swell out of the S, with a short 5-second period. The combined swell energy is only 42 (weak). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, so the surface is clean. Water temp is about normal for the season. But this is nothing to get excited about. The break wants NE swell for its best shape, and we’re getting a tiny S windswell.
Every other day from the 13th to the 28th is poor. We see some glassy mornings, some offshore breezes, but with swell heights barely scraping 1–2ft, it’s just flat. On the 16th and 17th we have clean conditions but the wave heights are under 1ft—not worth paddling for. The energy numbers stay in the single digits or low teens most days.
For beginners, a log might float you on the 22nd afternoon, but don’t expect a wave. For the rest of us, this is a beach day, not a surf day. The break is fairly consistent, but only in its lack of surf.
There’s no standout session to pick. This is a long, dull run. Sorry.
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.
