The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Hobson County Park. I’m seeing a whole lot of poor surf conditions from start to finish, with no real standout windows to get excited about.
We’re kicking off on Thursday, 10th September with a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, period a solid 17 seconds, but it’s a cross-on wind. The combined energy is moderate at best (218), but the word on the water is “poor surf conditions.” The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath out there.
This pattern just keeps going. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are the same story: small, 2ft to 1ft swells, cross-on or onshore winds, and the energy drops off (down to 140 or so). The period stays long, over 15 seconds, which at a reef break like this could mean some shape, but the wind is just ruining it.
Around Sunday the 13th, we get a slight bump from the west, 3ft, with a period of 10 seconds and energy of 232. Still, the wind is cross-on or onshore and the conditions are described as poor. It’s not going to be one for the logbook.
From the 14th through to the 25th of September, it’s a monotonous run of tiny swells – 1ft to 2ft – with light breezes that are almost always cross-on or onshore. The long-period groundswells (15-20 seconds) will offer some push, but the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The energy is all over the place, from weak 85 right up to moderate 266, but it doesn’t matter because the quality isn’t there.
There is simply no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. For a reef spot that’s consistent and fairly exposed, this is a real bummer. The combination of small swell and poor wind alignment means you’re better off keeping the board in the van. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. Save your energy.
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.
