The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer at the Hooks for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off slow. The first real chance to get wet comes Monday afternoon, August 3rd. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak and a bit wobbly. The water’s sitting at 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, which is a major positive, keeping things clean. The combined energy is only 60 (weak), so you’re looking at small, crumbly waves. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a tough slog. We’ve got a steady run of poor surf conditions with tiny swell and cross-onshore winds. Tuesday the 4th starts with a cleaner 2ft from the SE (43 energy), but the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s a bit messy. Wednesday through to the weekend is mostly a write-off – small waves, choppy, and not worth the paddle.

The one standout that might get your heart going is the afternoon of Monday, August 17th. The swell bumps to 3ft from the east, but the energy jumps up to 161 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see in the whole 16-day window. The wind is cross-onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’s not perfect, but with light wind ripples, it could be okay. Still, for a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a quiet spell.

For the Hooks, the best bet is that Monday the 3rd afternoon for the cleanest conditions, but don’t expect much. The 17th afternoon has a bit more energy but the wind is a factor. Beginners will be fine on the 3rd with the 2ft swell, as nothing over 5ft shows up.

Overall, there’s a big gap of poor surf from the 4th to the 16th, with only a few moments that are just “surfable.” The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, we’re in a lull.

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.
