Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming at Hobson County Park for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be brutally honest – it's a quiet spell.
We've got a long, dry run to start. From Sunday, July 5th, all the way through to the morning of Tuesday, July 14th, it's a bust. Tiny, weak swells mostly out of the SSW, around 1ft to 2ft. The wind is often light or even offshore, but it doesn't matter because there's simply no wave energy to work with. The combined energy is weak to moderate, topping out around 374 on that Wednesday the 8th, but it's all for nothing – poor surf conditions flagged for every session.
Early on, the water temp is a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 65°F. But you won't be in it for the waves. It's a long, frustrating stretch.
We finally see a pulse on Tuesday morning, July 14th. The swell swings around to the west with a short 8-second period. Heights bump up to around 2ft. The total energy is still thin (115 to 155), and while the wind goes light and offshore on the 15th and 16th, the models are still calling it poor surf. Not worth the paddle.
Into the final week, we see wave heights sticking around 1ft to 2ft but with longer 17-second periods on the 17th. That longer period means better shape, but with no height and onshore wind picking up on the 18th, it’s still a pass. Poor surf conditions are the only real story for this whole 16-day window.
This reef really needs a solid WNW swell to fire, and we just aren't getting it. If the wind really blows and the swell bumps up, this setup starts looking more fun for a kite than for a paddle. No standouts to call here, mates. Just a lot of waiting it out.
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.
