Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let's be straight with you – this forecast for Hooks is a tough one. We've got a full 16 days ahead, from Sunday the 5th of July right through to Monday the 20th, and honestly, there's nothing that's going to get you excited. The water's sitting at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive. The swell is tiny – we're talking 1ft to maybe 4ft at best, and almost all of it's coming from the ESE or SE, which is not what Hooks likes. It needs a good NE swell to really fire, and we're not getting that. The periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so no real power behind it. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 75 or so, and most days it's in the 30s or 40s. Winds are all over the place – cross, cross-off, cross-on – and even when it's clean, the waves are just too weak and messy to bother with. There's no standout, no day where you'd want to grab your board. It's a blank run, plain and simple. Sometimes these long flat spells happen here, and you just have to wait for the next proper swell to turn up. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, stay dry.

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.
