Reading the ocean.
SWELLRADAR is requesting a verified marine run for Yoyo's – The Hook.
Spot intelligence.
The Hook is the lined-up right farther down Yoyos' reef and away from the cliff, not The Wedge's refracting peak. Intermediate is the minimum independent-recommendation gate, not permission in major swell. A channel and generally easier takeoff do not make entry, reef clearance or larger-wave sessions risk-free.

Reviewed 23 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated
Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Qualitative swell references are not surveyed takeoff bearings or full acceptance windows; wind-from evidence is independent and unresolved disagreements disable directional wind scoring and its opposite-swell fallback. The inherited generic 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model ranking band remains unchanged and unvalidated, not a measured local working range, learner-safe range or wave-face conversion. Original approximate place markers and location sources remain; explicit six-kilometre sea requests do not survey reefs, sandbars, channels, currents, access or provider-snapped cells. Surf West Sumbawa's own location account distinguishes Hook's reef edge and tube sections from the cliff-adjacent Wedge, and excludes very basic beginners. This dedicated Hook record refines the Hook section already mentioned in the broader Yo-Yo's area profile; the records are not independent swell systems. Surf-Forecast's original Hook guide independently reports a right reef, SW swell, ENE wind and all-stage tide wording. The original Indonesian Surf Guide instead reports NW/N clean wind and a broader SW/W swell sector; the disagreement is explicit and directional wind scoring plus opposite-swell fallback remain off. All-stage surfability establishes no favoured phase or equal quality, safe depth or reliable channel access: tide scoring is neutral without phase/motion bonuses, preferred windows or adaptive fallback. No seasonal statistics, empty-lineup promise, height conversion or neighbouring Wedge tide rule is adopted.
- Surf West Sumbawa · own Yoyos and Hook account
First-party account distinguishes Hook's lined-up reef-edge right from The Wedge's cliff rebound and excludes very basic beginners; major swell and trade-wind cautions are qualitative, not numeric safe limits
- Surf-Forecast · original Yo-Yo's-The Hook guide
Independently reports exposed right reef, SW swell, ENE wind and all-stage tide surfability; not a favoured phase, safe channel, measured breaking height or beginner clearance
- Indonesian Surf Guide · original Yoyo's-The Hook description
Right reef and intermediate/advanced context, all-stage wording and broader SW/W swell; NW/N wind differs from Surf-Forecast ENE and is not forced into a universal offshore axis

Character
01Yoyo's – The Hook is defined by right · lined reef walls and occasional tubes over coral reef edge beside a channel. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02SW · qualitative reef reference swell, conflicting ene versus n/nw guides · check locally and all stages reported · neutral scoring form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR retains 0.6–3.0 m as an offshore-model ranking band, not a measured local surf limit or a breaking-wave prediction.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to reef contact at lower water, powerful walls on larger swells, shared peak and channel. Local signs and advice always take priority.
