The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for ya.
Look, mate, I gotta be straight with you. The next couple weeks are looking pretty flat and average for the Hooks. We’ve got a real slow patch here for a while. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we get past the first week of September. For nearly ten days, from the start of the forecast right through to the 9th of September, the waves are gonna be tiny and messy – mostly under 3 feet, with weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy just isn’t there, sitting below 100 most days. It’s a bit of a dead run.
Now, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the first real glimmer of something comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. We finally see the combined swell energy nudge up to 59, with a 2ft swell from the ESE, and the wind swings to a clean cross-offshore from the SSW. It’s still only surfable in a very ordinary way, but at least it’s not blown out. The morning session on the 9th is your best bet in this whole outlook, but keep your expectations on the floor.
The real kicker is that for this whole stretch, we’ve got the swell coming from the ESE and SE, which ain’t the ideal NE direction for this spot. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
Honestly, the light wind days on the 5th and 7th of September look glassy, but there’s just no swell to work with – only 0.7ft to 2ft. That’s more of a swim than a surf. For the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that jumps out as a true standout. It’s a quiet period, so maybe save your energy.

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.
