The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hobson County Park over the next couple of weeks.
Well, straight up, it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got a long, long stretch of days where the surf just isn’t doing us any favours. The water's sitting at a very unusual 71°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year at Hobson County Park. But that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary, and not in a good way.
From now through to the morning of Sunday, 20 September, conditions are consistently poor. Swell heights are tiny, barely pushing 1ft to 2ft, and while the wind is often light, it’s mostly cross-on or straight onshore, chopping up what little energy there is. The combined wave energy sits in the weak to moderate range (between 84 and 199), but with those sizes, it’s not doing anything. This is a real test of patience.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday morning, 20 September. We get a little bump in energy, with the combined swell reading 286 (moderate), and while the forecast is only marginal, it’s the best looking slot in the window. Swell is 2ft from the SW with a long period of 18 seconds. That long period groundswell will wrap in cleanly if it has the right angle. The wind is light cross-on, so it will be a tad bumpy, but it’s the best we’re going to get. For a reef break like this, that long period should produce some well-shaped, albeit small, waves.
After that, it's back to the grind for a few more days of poor conditions, with tiny swell and onshore winds, right through to the morning of Tuesday, 29 September.
*Standout:*
If you are desperate for a paddle, the absolute standout is the Tuesday morning, 29 September session. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but the models are showing a return of 2ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, and crucially, glassy conditions. The wind is described as glassy, which is a major positive for a normally onshore-prone spot. The combined energy is a weak 134, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it will be clean and ridable. It won’t be amazing, but after weeks of nothing, it’ll feel like a luxury.
To be honest, this is a lean run. For Hobson County Park, periods like this are not too unusual.

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.
