The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Hooks.
I’ll be honest, this stretch looks pretty weak. The first ten days are mostly a write-off. There’s just no size or energy to speak of, and the wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-shore. The combined swell energy is living in the low double-digits (weak), barely hitting triple-digits (moderate) a couple times. It’s a flat spell.
The first real chance to surf comes on Sunday, August 9th. It’s nothing special, but it’s the best we’ve got. The morning shows a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. The saving grace is the wind – it’s glassy, with a light S wind at 3 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which sums it up. It’s small, but it’s a chance to get a few longboard rides without fighting the wind. Water temp is a warm 84°, which is about 0.7° above normal, so pretty average for this time of year.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. Day after day of poor conditions, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and tiny swell.
Into the second week, we get one more window. Tuesday, August 18th, the morning session looks promising again. The swell is still small, 2ft from the SE, but the period stretches to 8 seconds. The wind is a light WSW at 6 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The energy is still low at 40 (weak), but it’s another clean, surfable morning.
So, to wrap it up: This is a longboarder’s stretch. The waves are small and inconsistent, but we’ve got two clean mornings – Sunday the 9th and Tuesday the 18th – where you can get a few clean, little ones. Don’t expect power, just enjoy the glide.
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.
