The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Hobson County Park is a tough one. We're looking at nothing but poor surf conditions across the entire run, from the start of August 1st right through to August 16th. There's not a single standout session to get excited about, so you might want to leave the board in the shed for a while.
The waves are tiny, mostly hanging around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, and the swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with combined energy at (123) on a decent day and dropping as low as (34) later on. The wind's mostly light and onshore, which doesn't help clean things up either. Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to complain about there, but you won't be needing a spring suit for the waves.
If you're really keen, the best chance is on Saturday morning, August 1st, with a 1 ft swell from the SSW at a 13-second period and a light 6 mph SW breeze, but it's still poor surf. The reef setup here can work with a WNW swell direction, but we're seeing SSW and SW swells, so it's not ideal. The crowds are sometimes an issue, but honestly, with conditions this flat, you won't be fighting for waves.
This is a consistent spot, so it's unusual to have such a blank run. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a flat spell. Stick to the beach walks or check the kiteboarding if the wind picks up, because surfing isn't on the menu.
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.
