Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hooks over the next 16 days.
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Hooks. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run for the next sixteen days. The swell is tiny, and most of the time the conditions are ordinary, so we’re not looking at any classic surf.
Thursday morning (July 9th) is about as good as it gets, and that’s really just a small bump. A weak 1ft ESE swell with a period of 9 seconds and light cross-offshore winds from the WSW. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 85°, which is nice. The combined wave energy is weak (45). It’s clean, but you’ll be on a log or a foamie. This is a beginner-friendly break, flat and easy. Crowds are possible here.
The following days are a grind. Friday morning (July 10th) is a repeat of the same small, clean 1ft ESE swell. Afternoons get chopped up by onshore winds. Saturday and Sunday (July 11th & 12th) offer nothing worthwhile. The pattern drags on through the next week with tiny, low-energy swells (mostly 1ft to 2ft) and periods under 8 seconds. The wind is often light and clean, but there’s no power in the water to push a decent wave.
The only time the swell nudges up a little is around the 14th and 15th of July. Tuesday morning (July 14th) sees a 4ft ENE swell, but with a short period of 5 seconds, it’s just a weak, bumpy mess. The wind is offshore from the WNW though, so it’s clean. The energy is still moderate (87). Wednesday morning (July 15th) is similar, 4ft ENE swell. The best bet in the whole window is probably Wednesday afternoon (July 22nd) when the swell hits 4ft from the SE with a period of 5 seconds, combined energy (101) just tipping into moderate. It’s clean with cross-offshore SW wind, but the period is still short and the surf quality is ordinary.
The whole period is a flat spell for Hooks. There’s no standout session, no big swell, and no perfect conditions lining up. You’d be better off waiting for a better forecast than chasing these dribbles.

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.
