The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Hobson County Park over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We're looking at a full 16-day window, but there isn't a single day that offers a proper surf. Every single forecast is flagged as "poor surf conditions" and scores a zero out of ten. That's a long, quiet stretch.
The water is sitting at a balmy 71°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like summer just didn't want to leave. You'll be comfortable in boardshorts, that's for sure.
The first few days kick off on Sunday the 13th of September with a tiny 2ft to 4ft west swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy and messy. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, between 138 and 179 (moderate wave energy). It's just not doing anything interesting.
As we move into the middle of the week, the swell drops right off. From Monday 16th through to the end of the outlook, we're looking at ankle-to-knee high waves, 1.0ft to 2ft, coming from the west-southwest or southwest. The period swings up into the long range, 15 to 19 seconds, which for a beach-and-reef setup like this can actually make things fat and hard to catch – it needs a proper point or reef to really shine. But the main issue is there's simply not enough water moving. The combined energy mostly sits between 83 and 265 (weak to moderate wave energy), which is just a sad number for a surf forecast.
The wind does go offshore or cross-offshore at times, especially in the afternoons from Monday the 14th onward, which would normally be a dream. But with a swell that small and weak, it's like having a perfectly waxed board with no waves to ride.
Honestly, with these tiny, weak swells and onshore winds early on, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. If you're desperate for a splash, maybe the Tuesday the 16th or Wednesday the 17th of September mornings might give you a tiny, clean crumble with the light cross-shore winds, but don't get your hopes up.
This is one of those blank runs where you're better off leaving the board in the car and enjoying a cold one on the beach. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
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.
