The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got to level with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for Hooks. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's really nothing that gets me excited. The forecast is a long, flat spell with barely any energy.
We start off with Sunday the 6th of September and it's tiny. I'm talking 0.7ft of weak, short-period ESE swell. The combined energy is a measly 11 – that's flat calm stuff. And the wind, while light, is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. It's a write-off.
Monday the 7th is no better, still around 1ft and the wind is getting up from the NE, making it choppy. Tuesday the 8th we see a bump to 3.3ft, but it's a shocking 6-second period, wind is howling cross-onshore at 12 mph, and the water is going to be a mess. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 9th is the only time in the whole run we get any real push – 4.3ft to 4.6ft from the E, with the energy jumping up to 226. But the wind is straight onshore, 9 to 12 mph. That's just blown-out, lumpy conditions. It's a shame because the swell has some weight, but it's unsurfable.
After that, it drops straight back down. From Thursday the 10th right through to Monday the 21st of September, it's a dead zone. We're looking at 0.7ft to 2.3ft of weak swell, with periods all under 10 seconds. The energy levels mostly stay under 50. The wind is a constant problem – cross-onshore, onshore, or howling from the NE at 19 to 28 mph later on.
There are a couple of moments with glassy or light offshore winds on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, but the swell is so tiny – 1.3ft – you'd be bobbing around on a lake. No power, no shape. For a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, seeing a run this empty is a bummer. Honestly, with that onshore wind and small chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
Hang in there, but don't hold your breath. This one's a miss.

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.
