Hobson County Park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on offer over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The combined swell energy tops out in the low hundreds, with very little size to get excited about. We’re looking at a long run of small, clean-ish conditions but nothing that’s going to pump.

The first real hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 7th of July, and even then, it’s marginal. The break to focus on is Hobson County Park, a reef setup that needs a solid west-northwest groundswell to work well. This spot is for advanced surfers only.

From the start of July right through the 6th, it’s a write-off. Tiny swell – around 1ft to 2ft – with periods up to 18 seconds but no energy behind it. The wind is light and mostly onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the surface a bit bumpy. You’d be better off waiting.

Then around Tuesday morning July 7th, we get a small lift. Swell bumps up to 2ft out of the south-southwest, period a long 18 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 325 (moderate). The wind is light and straight offshore (SW 6 mph), which means the surface should be clean and lined up. That’s your best chance, but it’s still “marginal” at best. That long period (18 seconds) will mean longer waits between sets, but for a reef break like Hobson, it should offer a bit more shape than a beachie would.

The rest of the week and into the second week, we stay trapped in small, weak swell – 1ft to 2ft – with periods dropping back to 12-16 seconds by the 14th. Winds stay light, often cross-off or offshore, so it’ll look pretty but won’t have any push. The combined energy falls way off, dropping below 100 by the 14th, which is weak.

The only other minor bump is around Thursday July 16th, with a 1ft swell from the west, period 17-18 seconds. Another long-period groundswell, but tiny. Combined energy around 179 (still moderate), with light winds. It’s a poor surf condition though, so don’t get your hopes up.

In short: Tuesday July 7th morning is your one real standout. It’s not big, but with offshore wind and a clean surface, Hobson County Park might offer a few nice, lined-up lefts for the advanced crew. The water temperature is 63° with a slight positive anomaly, so a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – which is a nice bonus.

Other than that, it’s a quiet, small, clean windows period. Not much to get excited about, but if you just want to get wet, pick a morning with light offshore wind and enjoy the peace.

Rusty.
