The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this one’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a solid run of nothing for the next couple of weeks. The first real chance of anything breaking is a long way off, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.
The forecast starts with a big gap. From the start of the period right through to the 9th of August, it’s a whole lot of small, weak, and messy. The combined energy of all swells is tiny, barely cracking double digits most days. Winds are blowin’ fresh from the east, keeping things clean but the swell just isn’t there. You’d be paddling for nothing.
Then, on the afternoon of Sunday the 9th of August, we finally see a pulse of energy. The combined swell energy jumps to 106 (moderate), with a 3ft swell sneaking in from the ENE. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s lumpy windswell, but the wind is offshore from the ENE, which will keep the surface clean at Seahook’s Dock. This is the only real standout in the whole window, but it’s not exactly a classic – it’s a reef/cement dock that’s inconsistent, so you’ve got to be in the right place at the right time. Crowds are possible, so expect a few others with the same idea.
The next afternoon, Monday the 10th of August, shows a similar little bump with 3ft from the ENE and 111 combined energy, but again it’s short period (6 seconds) and blown out by a fresh offshore breeze. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. From the 11th of August onwards, the waves drop off again. Tiny swells, small combined energy values, and the wind sticks to that east/northeast direction. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 9th and 10th of August are your best bets. Otherwise, the forecast looks like a big old blank. It’s one of those runs where you just wait for a change. Forecasts can shift, so don’t write the whole month off just yet.
Rusty.

Information about the Seahook's Dock Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Seahook's Dock provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Seahook's Dock can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Seahook's Dock 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 (Seahook's Dock) 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 Seahook's Dock 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.
