Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hooks over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you. I’ve looked over the numbers for Hooks, and to be honest, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of forecast data, and the ticker doesn’t flash a single green light. That’s a long dry spell.

Right off the bat, starting with the first entry on Friday afternoon, July 10th, it’s a no-go. The swell is a weak 4ft from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds, and it’s getting hammered by a 15 mph cross-onshore wind from the SE. The combined energy is weak at just 62. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it because the surf is just poor.

We roll into Saturday the 11th. The morning has clean conditions with a light offshore wind from the W and glassy water, but the swell has dropped to a measly 2ft from the SE (5 secs). It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon goes back to a choppy mess with that SSE cross-onshore. This same pattern of tiny, anemic swell – often under 2ft – and poor conditions stretches right through the entire first week and into the second.

There are a few windows of clean, offshore wind, like on Sunday the 12th morning, Monday the 13th morning, and even some glassy conditions on Thursday the 16th morning and Friday the 17th morning. But each time, the swell is laughably small, usually around 1ft to 2ft. The energy values are in the single digits or low double-digits, barely a whisper. It’s heartbreaking to see a light breeze and offshore wind get wasted on a flat ocean.

Even the afternoons that see a bump to around 3ft or so are let down by a 4-second period and onshore winds. The setup just doesn’t have any grunt.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, for a beginner who just wants to get wet and sit on a board, any of those clean morning windows with offshore wind (like the 11th, 12th, or 13th) would be the safest bet. But you won't be catching waves. For any intermediate or expert, there’s nothing to even talk about. With such small, weak swell and poor consistency, the forecast is totally blank. There aren't any standouts. It’s just a long, slow wait until something changes.

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.
