The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – Hooks is not looking good for the next 16 days. It’s flat and messy, so don’t bother.
We start on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the ESE, period of 8 seconds, and energy of 35 (weak). The water temp is 83°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is a cross-offshore, but the surf is too small to ride.
Sunday the 6th is cleaner in the morning with a light offshore wind from the West, but the swell drops to 1ft from the SE, period of 5 seconds, and energy of 13 (weak). Afternoon turns cross-shore, but still flat.
The whole first week is a bust. Monday the 7th, Tuesday the 8th – a bump to 3ft on Tuesday from the ENE, but it’s a short 6-second windswell with cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy. Energy hits 82 (weak) but it’s not surfable.
Wednesday the 9th sees energy at 133 (moderate) with 3ft from the East at 8 seconds, but it’s onshore, so it’s a crumbly mess. The onshore and cross-onshore pattern continues. Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th, Saturday the 12th – all tiny, weak, and messy. Saturday morning is glassy with a WNW breeze, but the swell is only 1.0ft at 8 seconds with energy of 14 (weak). Too small.
Second week is more of the same. Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th – swell stays in the 1ft to 2ft range, mostly from the E or ESE, periods between 8 and 9 seconds. Tuesday afternoon’s energy hits 103 (moderate), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Wind is up, waves are sloppy.
Wednesday the 16th through Sunday the 20th is the same story. Tiny swell, weak energy, often onshore winds. Another glassy moment on Sunday the 20th morning with a 1.0ft groundswell from the ENE at 10 seconds, but it’s too small to ride. Energy is only 35 (weak).
Best on offer? There isn’t one. The only clean moments are Sunday the 6th and Friday the 11th mornings, but both have swell under 2ft and periods under 8 seconds. It’s a flat spell. Hooks is a no-go for the entire 16-day forecast. Wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
