The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk about Hooks. Over the next couple weeks, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the surf’s been put on a diet. The swell is tiny, and we’re mostly looking at weak, short-period scraps. If you’re after proper waves, you’ll be waiting.
Starting Friday, July 24th, we’ve got a 3ft ESE swell, but that cross-on wind from the SE at 25 km/h has got it choppy and ugly. Saturday the 25th morning cleans up a bit with a light offshore and 2ft, but it’s nothing to write home about. The afternoon sees a cross-shore and the swell drops to 2ft. Sunday the 26th morning is clean with 1ft but no power.
Monday the 27th morning has glassy conditions – zero wind – but the swell is only 1ft, making it a real knee-knocker. The combined wave energy is weak, about (20). Tuesday the 28th is just as small, with 1ft waves and cross-shore breezes. Wednesday the 29th morning offers the best wind of the week – a clean offshore from the west at 15 km/h, with 1ft swell. It’ll be clean, but weak.
Thursday the 30th afternoon shows a slight bump to 2ft with clean cross-off winds, so that might be your best bet for the first week if you’re just looking to get wet. But honestly, it’s not good. Come the start of August, you’ll see a few clean mornings on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th with light offshore winds, but the swell stays stuck at 1ft to 2ft. The 8th of August morning goes glassy with 2ft from the SSE, but with a short period, it offers no punch.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session. The best bet is the 29th morning or the 5th August morning for the cleanest surface, but don’t expect any real wave face. This stretch looks better for the kite crew when the wind picks up onshore. We’ll have to see if the forecasts bring anything better, but for now, it’s a lean run.

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.
