The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Hobson County Park.
Honestly, this is a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. The surf just isn’t going to show up. The wave energy is too weak, and the swell direction is all wrong for this reef. We need a WNW swell, but we’re getting nothing but small SSW and SW pulses that don’t line up.
Water temp is about average for the season, so no big deal there.
Starting Saturday the 25th of July through the end of the month, it’s a real struggle. The swell is tiny, never topping 3ft, and the period is all over the place. Saturday morning shows a 2ft SSW swell with a very long 21-second period, but the wind is cross-on, making it a mess. For the rest of the week, the wind is mostly onshore, just enough to chop up the already weak, small waves. Every session is flagged as poor. A couple of days get a “marginal” call, but that’s being generous.
Moving into the second week, starting Saturday the 1st of August, it’s more of the same. The swell gets even smaller, barely hitting 3ft on the afternoon of the 1st, again with poor conditions. From the 2nd of August on, the swell height sinks to between 1ft and 2ft. The wave energy numbers drop into the low double digits and even single digits – that’s as flat as it gets. The wind stays onshore or light cross-on. We get a few clean mornings, but with no swell behind them, it’s just a flat, glassy lake.
The long period swells, like the 21-second one on the 6th of August, are a cruel tease. The direction is wrong and the height is only 1ft, so it’s flat. There’s absolutely nothing to recommend here. This reef needs a proper push, and it’s just not happening. The crowds are said to be “sometimes,” but you’ll be the only one out there – and you won’t be surfing.
If you’re a kite surfer, you might get a few rides on the breezier afternoons, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a full 16-day blank.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
