The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming our way at Hobson County Park.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and grim. We've got a long run of 'poor surf conditions' stretching from the look of it, day after day. Honestly, it's a blank run for the next couple of weeks. There’s a real gap in quality surf here. We’re talking about a stretch of almost two weeks where you'd be fighting for a knee-high dribbler.
Kicking off on Tuesday, July 14th, the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 65°, but the surf is a tiny 1 ft from the SSW with a weak energy reading of 117. Not much to write home about, and the wind is on it from the west. That tiny trend continues through Wednesday and Thursday, with waves barely getting to 3 ft on the 16th from the west with a short 9-second period. The energy stays moderate at best, hitting 187 on Thursday morning.
The pattern just keeps repeating. Through the rest of July, we're seeing swell heights that never crack 3 ft. On Friday the 17th, the wind goes cross-shore at 9 mph from the south, but the wave is back down to 1.0 ft with a long 17-second period which makes it even harder to catch.
There is a slight flicker of hope late in the run. On Monday, July 27th, the morning gets a '1' rating – the first real sign of life. Swell is 2 ft from the SSW with a decent 18-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 271 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the WSW, light at 6 mph, which should keep the surface glassy. On Tuesday the 28th, the afternoon swell jumps to 3 ft from the SSW, with the energy hitting a strong 413. Still, with 3 ft and an offshore wind, this is about the best we've got. It's marginal at best.
For a reef break like Hobson County Park that's fairly exposed to the WNW, but we're not getting any swell from that direction. At this size, it's not going to be too big for anyone – these are beginner-friendly conditions if you can find a wave. The crowds are listed as 'sometimes,' so you might see a few other hopefuls out there.
In summary, keep your expectations on the floor. The 27th and 28th look like the only days you could possibly wet a line, and even then it's going to be a game of patience. Unless the forecasts change, it's a quiet spell for Hobson.

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.
