The Hook Surf Guide
Not a great wave, but a pretty wave, very popular with the beginner to intermediate set. 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.
