Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let me break down the next 16 days for Hooks. The outlook is pretty grim, honestly. We've got a long stretch of small, weak swells and tricky winds ahead.
The water's sitting at a warm 85°F, about a degree or two warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a dip but won't help the waves.
Looking at the immediate forecast, we kick off on Friday morning, July 3rd, with a tiny 2ft easterly swell on a short 7-second period. There's a risk of thunderstorms and an onshore breeze, so it's a write-off. That sets the tone. We go through the entire first week and into the second with next to nothing. Saturday the 4th morning has a glassy 1ft from the ESE, but it's just too small to get excited about.
The combined wave energy stays weak throughout, barely cracking 100 (like 89, 66, 95) and often sitting below 50, meaning there's just no power in the water.
If you're desperate, maybe the morning of Saturday, July 11th offers a tiny glimmer. We've got a 3ft swell from the SE with a 7-second period, and the wind is light and offshore from the west. The water will be clean, but it's a beginner-level wave at best.
Beyond that, the pattern of weak, short-period swell from the ESE and SE continues with no real standouts. For the last week, from around July 14th onwards, it's more of the same: small waves, wind shifts, and no real energy. The swells are consistently under 3ft, and the period rarely gets above 8 seconds. It's a long, flat spell.
So, the honest truth? There's nothing that qualifies as a 'standout' session in this entire 16-day run. It is what it is. Hang tight, forecasts can change.

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.
