The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for Hooks over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I've got to be straight with you: it’s looking pretty barren out there. The next sixteen days are a tough stretch, with near-zero surf on offer for any kind of decent paddle session. The wave energy just isn't showing up.
We kick things off on Tuesday, September 1, with tiny, weak 2ft surf coming out of the ESE at a short period of 7 seconds. Combined swell energy is a paltry 36 (weak). And it's coming with a cross-onshore breeze, making it messy and choppy. It stays like this – small, poor quality, and blown out – right through the first week. Wednesday and Thursday are a touch bigger at 2ft, but the wind is on or cross-onshore, and the energy never cracks "moderate" (topping out at 121 on Wednesday morning). Friday's a write-off, same story.
You might see Saturday morning, September 5, and think "clean," with a light offshore from the WSW. But look closer – that’s a 1ft, 8-second ESE slop with only 25 energy. That’s barely a ripple. It's clean, but for a beginner only, and even then, there's no push.
Sunday the 6th is the cleanest of the lot, with a glassy offshore wind again from the WSW and 0.7ft surf. It's pretty to look at but absolutely flat for surfing. The following week doesn't get any better. A few days see 3ft to 4ft, but the period drops to a woeful 6 seconds (short-period windswell), and the wind is honking from the NE at 22 to 25 mph, creating lumpy, fresh cross-onshore conditions. Not surfable.
There's a glimmer of hope on Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, when the wind goes completely glassy (W at 3 mph and NE at 3 mph respectively). But again, the swell is next to nothing at 1.0ft. For the second week, right through to Wednesday, September 16, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell and steady onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temperature is doing nothing weird – it's about average for this time of year.
Basically, if you want to get wet, this stretch is a nightmare. The guidance is poor across the board. There's simply no swell of any quality and the wind is rarely your friend. Don't even bother with the board. This is one of those blank runs where you just wait for a change in the charts.
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.
Hooks is 3 km (2 miles) from Fernandina Beach. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fernandina Beach. Fernandina Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
