Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on offer over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The combined swell energy tops out in the low hundreds, with very little size to get excited about. We’re looking at a long run of small, clean-ish conditions but nothing that’s going to pump.
The first real hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 7th of July, and even then, it’s marginal. The break to focus on is Hobson County Park, a reef setup that needs a solid west-northwest groundswell to work well. This spot is for advanced surfers only.
From the start of July right through the 6th, it’s a write-off. Tiny swell – around 1ft to 2ft – with periods up to 18 seconds but no energy behind it. The wind is light and mostly onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surface a bit bumpy. You’d be better off waiting.
Then around Tuesday morning July 7th, we get a small lift. Swell bumps up to 2ft out of the south-southwest, period a long 18 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 325 (moderate). The wind is light and straight offshore (SW 6 mph), which means the surface should be clean and lined up. That’s your best chance, but it’s still “marginal” at best. That long period (18 seconds) will mean longer waits between sets, but for a reef break like Hobson, it should offer a bit more shape than a beachie would.
The rest of the week and into the second week, we stay trapped in small, weak swell – 1ft to 2ft – with periods dropping back to 12-16 seconds by the 14th. Winds stay light, often cross-off or offshore, so it’ll look pretty but won’t have any push. The combined energy falls way off, dropping below 100 by the 14th, which is weak.
The only other minor bump is around Thursday July 16th, with a 1ft swell from the west, period 17-18 seconds. Another long-period groundswell, but tiny. Combined energy around 179 (still moderate), with light winds. It’s a poor surf condition though, so don’t get your hopes up.
In short: Tuesday July 7th morning is your one real standout. It’s not big, but with offshore wind and a clean surface, Hobson County Park might offer a few nice, lined-up lefts for the advanced crew. The water temperature is 63° with a slight positive anomaly, so a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – which is a nice bonus.
Other than that, it’s a quiet, small, clean windows period. Not much to get excited about, but if you just want to get wet, pick a morning with light offshore wind and enjoy the peace.
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.
Hobson County Park is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of Ventura. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ventura. Ventura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
