The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a full 16-day window, but the honest truth is there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first solid recommendation doesn't kick in until Wednesday morning, July 29th, and even then, it's a real scrape.
The long and short of it is we’ve got a persistent, weak, onshore flow slapping the surface. The swell is tiny and the quality is shot. For the first few days, from Monday the 27th, it's a write-off. The water is incredibly warm, sitting at 69°F with a massive anomaly of 6°F, meaning it's much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn't help the surf one bit.
The best we can honestly say is look at Hobson County Park on Wednesday morning, July 29th. It’s a reef break that’s advanced-level, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds, giving it that long-period groundswell feel. The combined energy is a weak (351) – nothing to write home about. The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze out of the SW at 6 mph, which will put some small ripples on the face. It's marginal, just barely a 1 out of 10, but it's the only window that's not a total zero. This spot is fairly exposed to the swell, but it needs that WNW direction to really light up, so the SSW isn't ideal.
After that, it's back to the same story. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops, and the period goes all over the place. We see a few days with short-period, wind-driven junk from the west around Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st, with combined energy dropping to pathetic levels like (73) and (68). That’s barely enough to push a sea foam hat.
The second week, from August 3rd onwards, is a wasteland. Swell heights drop to 1.0ft and 0.7ft, and while the period gets super long (up to 21 seconds on August 6th), the energy is so low (77) it’s just a glassy lake. The wind stays light and cross-onshore, so the surface will be bumpy even if there was any power. For a spot that is consistent, this is a surprisingly long flat spell. Usually, it doesn't stay this poor for this long, but this time around, it's a real blank run.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate for a paddle and a few weak, bumpy lines on a reef, you might find something laughable on Wednesday the 29th at Hobson County Park. Otherwise, save your energy. The setup is so weak and bumpy, it looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
Rusty.

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.
