The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is: Hobson County Park is looking pretty sleepy for the next two weeks. It’s a reef that loves a good WNW swell, but we’re just not seeing one. It usually breaks pretty often, so when it’s flat like this, it really stands out.
From Saturday the 15th of August all the way to Thursday the 27th of August, the story is the same: tiny surf. The wave heights are hovering between 1ft and 3ft, and the wind is almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the WSW. That makes for a bumpy, messy surface. The combined swell energy is mainly in the low-to-moderate range (from 77 to 252), which just isn't enough to get this reef working. The water temp is 70°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so the only thing you're risking is a sunburn from staring at the flat ocean.
Things get a little more interesting toward the end. On Friday the 28th of August, the morning shows a bump in energy to 385, with a 3ft SSW swell riding on a very long 12-second period. The wind looks light and clean from the WSW. That long period is great for a reef, but the direction is still SSW, not the preferred WNW. It’ll be a bit tricky.
The real highlight, and the only one worth scheduling for, is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The combined energy jumps to 488, with a 3ft SSW swell carrying a super-long 18-second period. The wind will be glassy and light onshore – that’s perfect for clean conditions. Even if the direction isn't perfect, that kind of long-period groundswell can wrap in with some serious power. For an advanced-only spot, this will be the session to be out there. The afternoon on the 29th is similar, but with a bit less steam.
After that, the energy drops back down again.
The first full week is a total dud. The only real window is the morning of Saturday the 29th. If you can wait, that’s your shot.

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.
