The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll break it down. The outlook is pretty grim. At Hobson County Park, a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, things are looking flat and messy for the vast majority of the entire 16-day window. The water temperature is running 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting about 7° above average – that’s a real standout detail, but unfortunately the surf isn’t cooperating.
We start off Wednesday, August 26th, with a tiny 1ft SSW swell at a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is weak (86), and with an onshore WSW breeze, it’s just poor conditions. That sets the tone. Thursday the 27th sees a slight swell direction shift to the west, but it’s still only 2ft, period dropping to 8 seconds, and the energy is minimal (51). The morning does have a glassy surface, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power to work with.
The weekend, August 28th to 30th, shows a slight uptick in energy, hitting 454 combined energy on Saturday afternoon, but the swell is still only 2ft from the SSW. Winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s messy and poor. Monday the 31st through to the end of the first week of September is a real desert – swells barely 1ft, energy dropping, and cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about.
Then, on Friday, September 4th, we get a brief glimmer. The morning shows a 2ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with a moderate rain forecast and glassy conditions – no wind at all. Combined energy is 293 (moderate). The afternoon follows with a 2ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, still glassy with a light ENE breeze. The data says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your best bet in the whole outlook, but it’s a very small window and the swell is still only knee-high. It’s a reef break, and with that long period, it could offer a few clean lines, but it’s not going to be a ripper.
After that, it’s back to poor from Saturday the 5th onward, with onshore winds and tiny swells. The energy levels drop again, and the final week shows nothing special. The good Friday is a one-off, but it’s far out and uncertain.
Short story: there’s hardly any surf on offer. Hobson County Park is a consistent spot, but it’s just not firing. The 4th of September is the only date that even looks worth a paddle, and even then, keep expectations low. It’s a blank run for the most part.

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.
