Today

Waves up a peg from yesterday as selective new swell shows. Manageable southerly winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Old combo of WNW swell and SW swell eases, for mainly thigh-stomach-chest high zone waves, while a steep angled tropical S swell from Elida gets into best summertime breaks with better sets. Light+ SW winds add some afternoon texture. Mid afternoon high tide bogs down tide sensitive breaks.

The Hook Surf Guide

Not a great wave, but a pretty wave. The Hook can be frustrating because it's tucked well inside the bay and is inconsistent on all but the biggest swells. On bigger swells, and particularly those rare macking S swells, the Hook transforms from a mediocre wave to a good wave.
