The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Lookin’ at Hobson County Park, and I gotta tell ya - this stretch is flat as a pancake. It’s a reef break for advanced surfers only, consistent when it’s on, but there’s barely a pulse in the water. Water temp is about average for July, nothing crazy.
We start with a big gap. From Friday July 24th through Tuesday July 28th, it’s all poor conditions. Tiny waves from 1ft to 3ft with onshore winds and light breezes messin’ up the surface. Combined swell energy is weak to moderate - numbers like 264 to 424 - but it’s all slop. Not worth wettin’ a suit.
Sunday July 26th morning is the first marginal call - 2ft SSW swell, 19-second period - that’s a long period groundswell. Reef can handle that, but with onshore wind and that tiny size, it’s just not gonna shape up. You’d be bobbing around for a knee-high closeout.
Tuesday July 28th afternoon sees the biggest swell of the first week - 3ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, energy at 424. Still onshore, still marginal. You’d be paddling into small, wind-affected junk.
Wednesday July 29th and Thursday July 30th stay marginal - 2ft to 2ft, periods droppin’ to 15-16 seconds, wind turning cross or cross-onshore. Energy is weak. No standouts anywhere.
Then from Friday July 31st all the way to Saturday August 8th, it’s a long, flat dead zone. Swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, periods are short (6 to 14 seconds), and combined energy is weak - 25 to 119. Winds stay onshore or cross-onshore. Nothin’ doin’.
Only flicker of life is Sunday August 2nd morning - 2ft SSW at 12 seconds, energy at 267, marked marginal. But with onshore wind and that short period, it’s still not quality. Reef break, advanced only - an expert might find a closeout, but don’t hold your breath.
Bottom line: Hobson County Park needs a good WNW swell to light up, and we’re gettin’ the wrong angle - mostly SSW. When it’s this small and windy, this spot is more for a kite than a surfboard. Forecasts can change, but this kind of quiet run is pretty standard for the area right now.
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.
