The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the outlook for Hobson County Park over the next sixteen days is a tough one.
We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions that kicks off on Tuesday, 4th August and doesn’t let up. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 1ft, and coming from the SW or SSW. The wind is a constant problem too – it’s either cross-onshore or blowing straight onshore, which is a buzzkill for a reef setup. There’s a brief moment on the 7th where the swell period jumps to 19 seconds, which is a proper long-period groundswell, but the energy is still weak (120 combined energy), and it’s coupled with a cross-onshore wind. That’s a lot of wait for a messy wave.
The water is a whopping 70°F and feels much warmer than normal for this time of year, with an anomaly of 7°F. That’s a very unusual warmth, but it doesn’t change the fact there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
From the start of the forecast right through to the 19th of August, the story is the same: small, weak, and messy. The combined energy fluctuates between 39 and 249, but it’s always paired with poor surf conditions. There’s no standout window, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about. The swell direction is mostly SSW, and the optimum swell for this place is WNW, so we’re not even getting the right angle.
This is a blank run for paddle surfing. Honestly, with the consistent onshore wind and the small chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a traditional surf session. Don’t hold your breath; sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, there’s nothing on offer.
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.
