The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. Hooks is looking bleak for the next sixteen days. We’re talking nine days of nothing. From Sunday, August 23rd, through Monday, August 31st, the surf is just flat-out poor. Tiny waves, junk wind – it’s a total write-off.
The water’s a warm 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing to write home about.
We finally see a pulse of life on Tuesday, September 1st. The morning is glassy with a 0.3m wave from the ESE. The period is a very long 16 seconds, so there’s some deep ocean energy, but the height is pathetic. The combined energy is weak (85). It’s surfable, but it’s not gonna get your heart racing.
The one real highlight, the only window I’d even consider, is the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. The wind goes glassy from the NW, and the swell bumps up to a just-about-rideable 0.6m from the east, with a 12-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 124. It’s still small, but for this stretch, it’s the best on offer. That east direction is about as good as it gets for this break.
After that, we get a few more clean mornings on the 4th and 5th, but the swell stays tiny. The energy is moderate (118) on the 4th, but at 0.6m, it’s still just a dribble. This is a rough patch for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent. The only saving grace is a few glassy windows, but you’ll be scratching for a knee-high wave.
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.
