The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Hobson County Park.
To be honest, it's a lean stretch of days ahead. The forecast is showing a lot of small, onshore wind-affected surf, and the ratings reflect that it's going to be a tough grind. There's a big gap of poor conditions right through the first week, so don't expect much action until the second weekend.
The only real whisper of a session comes on Saturday, September 19th. The morning looks like the best bet. We've got a modest 3ft swell rolling in from the west, with a moderate amount of energy in the water (286). The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it won't be completely glassy, but it's the best we'll see. The swell direction is West, which is right on the money for this reef break. This is a consistent spot, but it's an advanced wave, so it's not for the faint-hearted. The crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so be prepared to share it.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Overall, I'd say sit tight. The middle of the month is a write-off. There's a possible window on the morning of the 19th, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it. Conditions can change, and it's a consistent spot, so it won't stay flat forever.
Later, 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.
