The Hoek surf guide

The Hoek is tucked under the rugged cliffs of Chapman’s Peak Drive, offering surfers an impressive view and a decent wave when conditions align. This spot can produce some fun sessions, mainly when there’s a small to medium swell from the southwest or west. It’s known for being a bit fickle, so timing is key, especially with the tides and winds playing a big role in its performance.

This surf spot works best with a southwest to west swell, handling wave heights around 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 2 meters). Waves break over a mix of uneven reef and sand, giving you the option to ride lefts and rights, depending on where you're positioned. Most surfers find the optimal conditions when there’s a southeast wind, and it’s important to remember that the best action will happen at low to mid tide. Also, keep in mind that it’s mostly suited for expert surfers looking for a challenge; the waves can be punchy and quick, with little room for error.

If you're planning a session here, brace yourself for the crowds, especially during the spring to autumn months when tube-lovers flock to catch some quality waves. Just be ready to adjust your expectations, as the shifting sands and rocky bottom mean that conditions can vary quite a bit from day to day, impacting your surf experience.
