The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Hobson County Park in the coming weeks.
I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough outlook. The whole 16-day forecast is just “poor surf conditions” all the way through. No good options at all. That’s a long stretch of nothing. For this spot, a blank spell like this is just part of the deal sometimes.
Starting on Monday the 13th of July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a 13-second period. The combined energy is weak at 113, and the wind is onshore from the SW at 10 km/h. Water temp is 65°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. It’s not looking good.
Tuesday the 14th is even smaller – 1ft Tuesday morning, energy drops to 48. Wind is cross-on, so there’s a little bump on the surface.
Wednesday the 15th brings a pulse of 3ft from the W, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that’s windswell, no power. Energy is 129 (still weak), and the wind is onshore.
Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th stay small, with swell around 3ft to 3ft, but the period is short at 8-9 seconds. Wind stays onshore or cross-on. Energy climbs into the 170-199 range (moderate wave energy), but the quality is poor.
From Saturday the 18th through the end of July, it’s more tiny groundswell – 1ft to 2ft, periods from 14 to 18 seconds, with wind mostly onshore or cross-on. Energy values are moderate, hovering in the mid-100s to low 190s, but the surf quality never improves.
Even when we get a very long-period groundswell of 24 seconds on Friday the 24th, it’s only 0.7ft – not enough to ride. For a beach and reef setup, that long period won’t help much without size.
There’s no standout day here. If you’re looking for something, the 3ft on Thursday the 16th morning is the biggest, but with onshore wind at 10 km/h and poor quality, it’s nothing special. Same for the 3ft on Wednesday the 15th morning – short period and onshore wind.
Honestly, with the wind blowing onshore all the time, this spot might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it’s bound to turn around eventually.
Rusty.

Information about the Hobson County Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hobson County Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hobson County Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hobson County Park 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 (Hobson County Park) 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 Hobson County Park 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.
