The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in feet, because that’s what some of you live by.
This is a tough one. Hobson County Park has almost nothing going for it for the next 16 days. The water is 71°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, feels like a heated pool.
From Friday the 28th of August straight through to Thursday the 3rd of September, it’s just flat to small junk. Swell is running 1ft to 2ft out of the SSW, with onshore winds and cross-onshore breezes ruining any chance of clean waves. The wave energy hits moderate levels like 261 (moderate) up to 485 (moderate-strong) on Saturday afternoon, but it doesn’t matter – the wind kills it. The swell periods are long (19 down to 12 seconds), so it’s groundswell, but there’s no size or direction to work with. This is a reef break for advanced surfers, but you’d be wasting your time.
There’s a faint glimmer on Friday the 4th of September. The morning is still messy with light cross-on winds (5 km/h, about 3 mph), but the swell is only 2ft from the SSW with a long 17 second period (325 energy). By the afternoon, the wind turns light offshore from the West at 3 mph – that’s glassy – and the swell bumps up to 2ft (348 energy). This is your only chance to possibly get a few clean small waves, but it’s still marginal and tide might be an issue. That’s the pick of the whole outlook.
From Saturday the 5th through to Saturday the 12th of September, it’s back to tiny poor surf: 1ft to 2ft, onshore winds, low energy (down to just 56), and period dropping to 13 seconds. Nothing worth paddling for.
The crowds here are only “sometimes” a problem, but there’s no one out because there’s no surf. The only window, and it’s weak, is Friday the 4th of September afternoon. Don’t get your hopes up.

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.
