The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I'm gonna be straight with you, the next couple of weeks look pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of onshore breezes and weak, short-period swell that's gonna leave us scratching our heads. Don't expect much for the first week and a half.
The first real chance to get wet, if you're keen, pops up around the morning of September 13th at Hooks. We're looking at a tiny, clean wave, 0.4m from the ESE with a 10 second period, and the combined energy is a measly 43. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but you'll be on a log or a foam board. It's not a winner, just the first sign of life after a long dry spell.
Now, the best session of the whole 16 days, and I'm using that term loosely, looks like Tuesday, September 8th. That morning, we get a bump to 1.6m from the east, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 300. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit lumpy. It's the biggest swell we're going to get, so for anyone who's been waiting, this is the one to aim for. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got.
The rest of the time is a struggle. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 5th and 6th of September, but the swell is so small (0.4m to 0.5m), it's barely a ripple. This is a long stretch of nothing, but the odd clean tiny wave might be alright for a beginner.
Rusty, out.

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.
