The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the menu for Hooks over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a pretty lean stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap before anything really worth paddling out for shows up. For the first ten days, from the 26th of August right through to the 4th of September, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with a short period that just doesn't have any push. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 23 and 88 (combined energy), and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There's a moment on Saturday morning, the 29th, where it goes glassy, but with only 1 ft on offer, it's more of a paddle and a tan than a surf.

Then, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we finally get a flicker of life. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the ENE, and the wind goes glassy, which is a massive plus. The wave energy climbs to 103 (moderate), but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy and lack the real punch you'd want. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The morning of Sunday the 6th is a similar story with 3 ft and glassy conditions, but that low period keeps it from being anything special.

The next real standout, and what I'd call the best bet in this whole outlook, is the morning of Wednesday the 10th of September. We get a clean, glassy morning with a 2 ft swell from the ESE. The wind is light from the WSW, which is a cross-off, making for clean conditions. The energy is only 55 (weak), but you could get a few fun little ones. Keep in mind, Hooks is an exposed spot, so it'll pick up whatever is out there, but the crowds can be an issue here, so for a small wave, you might find it's not worth the hassle.

All in all, it's a tough forecast. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But if you're desperate, the 10th of September is your best chance for a few clean, if small, waves. I wouldn't hold my breath on the rest.

Information about the Hooks Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Hooks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hooks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hooks surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hooks) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hooks may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
