Overview
The Hook is a fast, hollow right-hand point tucked into a cove near Pleasure Point. It breaks over uneven reef and sand, and the inside section can run on and wrap into Sharks Cove, which sometimes throws up a short left. It is a fun, decent-quality wave that loses a little size compared with Pleasure Point proper.
When It Works
The Hook draws swell from south through west-southwest to northwest (S-WSW-NW), with southwest (SW) the best match. It is a consistent point that can work across the seasons, from spring through winter. The wave is usable from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3 m / 10 ft, so it needs a bit of size to come to life without maxing out.
Wind and Tide
Look for a north (N) offshore wind to clean it up. It works on low and mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is a wave that suits intermediate surfers, and it handles a wide quiver: shortboard, funboard, fish, or longboard all have a place in the lineup. Expect a busy crowd when it turns on, though the atmosphere in the water tends to stay friendly.
Access
Parking is easy, with a car park offering free parking.
