Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hooks over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me give it to you straight – the entire 16-day window for Hooks is a dud. I’ve looked over every session, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Expect a long stretch of poor to non-existent conditions right through to the end of the month.
Water temp is around 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Doesn't do much for the wave quality, though.
The only time the combined energy even gets close to interesting is late on Thursday, July 23rd, hitting a moderate reading of (112), but that comes with a 20 km/h cross-onshore breeze turning the surf choppy and messy. Not a winner.
On the mornings of July 17th and 18th, you’ll find clean, glassy conditions with offshore breezes, but the waves are tiny at just 0.7ft to 1ft. The energy readings are pitiful at (10) and (24) – basically flat. Most of the period is small, weak SE windswell with short periods under 8 seconds, and a persistent cross-onshore wind ruining any chance of clean lineups.
For Hooks, a beginner-friendly spot that needs swell from the NE, this is a total shutdown. There’s just no size, no power, and no clean windows. Even the kite crowd would be bored with these light, onshore winds.
So, call it a full-on blank run. It’s typical for the area to go quiet, but this one looks stubborn. Forecasts can always change, but right now, stay home.
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.
