Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hooks over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell ya, it's Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Hooks are looking pretty grim. We're talking about a long stretch of poor surf conditions, so don't get your hopes up.
The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't come until the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. Even then, it's just a small, weak pulse of swell from the ENE, with a tiny 2ft. The wind is calm though, a slight air from the NW giving us a clean cross-off breeze, which is the only thing going for it. The combined energy is a measly 68, so you'll be doing a lot of waiting. It's surfable, but just barely.
The next morning, Wednesday, July 15th, is a little better. The swell is still small from the ENE at 3ft with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off from the north. It's clean, but the energy is a bit more moderate at 92. Still, if you're desperate for a session, this is probably the pick of the bunch. It's not going to blow anyone away, but it's a chance to get wet.
After that, it's back to the same old story. The afternoon on Wednesday the 15th gets messy with a moderate cross-onshore, and the rest of the week and into the next is a mix of poor surf and onshore winds. The morning of Sunday, July 19th, offers a clean but teeny 2ft wave with a gentle offshore breeze, but it's just not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, the standout here isn't really a standout at all. If you're really itching for a board, the cleanest windows with the best chance of a rideable wave are the Tuesday morning of the 14th and the Wednesday morning of the 15th. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises there.
This is a tough run for Hooks. It's a consistent break, but the forecasts just aren't delivering. Keep an eye on it, though – it tends not to stay this flat for long.
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.
