The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about the Hooks. It's a pretty quiet picture for the next couple of weeks, to be honest. The water's a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's the only highlight for a while.
We're looking at a long, flat spell starting Wednesday the 9th all the way through to Saturday the 19th of September. The waves are tiny, just 1 to 2 feet, mostly from the E and ESE. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 17 and 130, which is nothing to write home about. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There are a few glassy mornings on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, but the swell is so small it's just a flat, calm ocean. Not worth the effort.
Now, there's a glimmer of hope, but it's a long way off. On Sunday the 20th of September, we finally see a pulse of swell. The morning shows a clean 5 feet from the NE with a combined energy of 211 (moderate) and glassy conditions. The wind is offshore (WNW), so the Hooks could actually shape up. It's your best shot. The swell direction is a decent match for the break. But the bad news is that by afternoon, the wind swings onshore at 9 mph and the waves get messy again. Monday the 21st also has some size (4 feet) but the wind is already cross-onshore, so it's not the same quality.
If you're desperate for a wave, the only real standout is the morning of Sunday the 20th. Everything else is a bust. The second week is just more onshore wind and small, weak swell. It's a waiting game.

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.
