Alright, let’s talk Hooks. It’s gonna be a slow one. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf, with only a few brief clean windows that might tempt you if you’re desperate. Right off the bat, Friday July 3rd is a dud – 2ft east swell, 7 second period, and a messy cross-onshore wind. Forget it.

The first real chance comes Saturday morning, July 4th. It’s tiny – only about 1ft from the ESE – but the wind is dead glass. That’s a big deal. The wave energy is real weak (41), so you’ll be scratching for anything, but if you’ve got a longboard and want some clean knee-high sliders, that’s your moment. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.

After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Saturday afternoon all the way to around Wednesday July 8th, it’s all poor surf, small heights, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a little clean-up on Wednesday morning with an offshore wind from the WSW and a tiny 1ft ESE groundswell (9 seconds), but energy is still weak (37). Rideable, but nothing to write home about.

Thursday July 9th morning is another “surfable but ordinary” slot – clean, light cross-offshore wind, 1ft swell, still weak. The real standout lands on Friday July 10th morning. We get a proper offshore breeze from the WSW, small 1ft ESE swell, period up to 8 seconds, and clean conditions. Energy is only 43, but for one of the few clean offshore mornings, this is your best bet. Bring the log and enjoy the peace – crowds are sometimes a thing here, but on this small stuff, it won’t be busy.

Saturday July 11th morning also offers a clean window with WSW offshore wind and 2ft SE swell (8 seconds), energy at 47. It’s the biggest clean morning we see, but still very weak. After that, it’s more of the same: small, weak, and often choppy afternoons. Sunday July 12th morning is clean but only 2ft.

From Monday July 13th through to the end, it’s a repeating pattern. Mornings are generally clean with light to moderate offshore or cross-offshore breezes, but the swell stays stubbornly small – 2ft to 2ft, periods mostly under 8 seconds, and wave energy rarely climbing above 58. Tuesday July 14th afternoon bumps up slightly with 3ft SE swell and energy at 92, but the wind is cross-offshore and it’s still only “surfable but very ordinary.”

The best overall stretch is the mornings of Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th – clean, offshore, and the largest of the clean windows. But honestly, this is a longboard-only spell. No standout powerful day, no big swell. If you’re a beginner, those clean mornings are perfect for learning. If you’re after real waves, you’ll be waiting.

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.

Hooks is 3 km (2 miles) from Fernandina Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fernandina Beach. Fernandina Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
