The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Hobson County Park. It’s a reef setup, so it needs a decent push to get going, and honestly, the next 16 days look like a lean run for this spot. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, onshore slop, so don't hold your breath for a classic session.
Right off the bat, from Saturday the 18th of July through to the end of the month, every single session is flagged as poor surf. The swell is tiny, mostly hanging around 1ft to 3ft, and coming from the SSW or SW. The wind is a killer here – it’s almost always onshore from the WSW or SW, which is going to chop up whatever little energy is there. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (between 135 and 378), so there’s no real power in the water. The water is a warm 68°F with a 5°F anomaly, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
The best chance you’ve got is around Monday the 27th of July. The swell is still only 2ft from the SSW, but the period bumps up to a long 18-19 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 420 (moderate). The wind is light onshore from the WSW in the morning, which is still not ideal, but it’s the closest we get to something rideable. By Monday afternoon, the energy is up to 470, but it’s still classed as poor surf. For a reef break, that long-period SSW groundswell can produce some lined-up waves, but the onshore wind will ruin any chance of a clean face. It’s a marginal call at best.
After that, we drift into a real flat spell. By Thursday the 30th of July afternoon, the swell height drops to 2ft from the W with a period of just 6 seconds (weak energy of 41), and it’s all over. The first few days of August are even smaller, with the 1st of August showing a laughable 0.7ft. There’s a bump on the 1st of August afternoon with a 3ft SSW swell and 12-second period, but once again, the onshore wind kills it. That’s a 2-week stretch with no real quality.
Given the persistent onshore wind and small, weak swell, this setup at Hobson County Park looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through the entire period. The waves just won’t have any shape.
Stay patient, crew. It’s a blank run, but forecasts can change.

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.
