The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Hooks over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s no surf worth paddling out for until Tuesday the 4th of August, and even then it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at a solid gap of nearly four days from now with nothing but flat, poor conditions. The combined wave energy is sitting at weak levels (2 to 12) for days, and the swell is tiny, mostly from the east or southeast with periods that are either super short or just not there.
Come Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we finally get a pulse that’s surfable but very ordinary. The Hooks will see a tiny 3ft swell from the southeast at a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (57). The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean, but don’t expect any power. This is a beginner-level wave at best, and it’s only for those who are desperate. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The rest of the 16-day window is grim. There’s a little bump on Friday the 7th of August, where the afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 110 (moderate), but the wind is directly onshore from the east, making it messy. Not worth the drive.
After that, we see a few clean mornings, like Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August, with light offshore winds, but the swell is gone again – 2ft to 2ft with weak energy. The pattern repeats: a little puff of energy, then nothing.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday morning clean window, but even then, the quality is poor. If you’re a beginner and just want to get wet, that’s your only real shot. For everyone else? Save your energy. The forecasts can change, sure, but right now this is a tough watch.
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.
