Lineup Insights

The Wave

The Hook favors south-southwest groundswells with northwest winds (offshore) for the cleanest rights.

Low-to-mid tides lengthen the takeoffs while high tide can close the slot and make exits tricky.

Expect short, hollow faces and localism on bigger, rare SSW days.

Lineup Guide

Steep stairs and a narrow exit at the base mean high-tide exits are hazardous and paddling south to Privates or north to 38th Ave is a common workaround.
