The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I’m gonna tell you the same story, just in feet and miles. The next couple of weeks at Hooks are a tough watch. From Thursday the 3rd all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The swell is tiny, mostly from the east and southeast, but the wind is a nightmare – onshore and cross-onshore every day. The water is about 81°, which is normal for this time of year. The wave energy is weak, and the heights barely get over 3 feet. The only bright spot in that first week is Saturday morning the 5th, with a 2-foot southeasterly swell and a light cross-offshore wind that makes it clean. But it’s tiny.
The only real glimmer comes on Wednesday the 16th. The morning session has a 2-foot southeasterly swell, with a period around 8 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the west. That’s clean, and the energy is modest. It’s still small, but it’s your best shot. The afternoon of Sunday the 13th shows a little more pop – 3 feet from the southeast, period of 10 seconds, and the energy hits 165 – but it’s onshore, so it’ll be choppy.
No standout, no big swell. If you’re itching to get wet, the morning of Wednesday the 16th is the only call. It’s a long, quiet run, and the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
Rusty out.

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.
