Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Hobson County Park. I've gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead, no sugar-coating it. This is an advanced reef break that needs everything to line up, and for most of the next couple of weeks, it just isn't happening.
We're looking at a long, frustrating gap right out of the gate. From Friday the 10th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, the ocean is basically flat or junky. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, and it's coming from the wrong directions like SSW or W, not the preferred WNW. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just messing up what little ripple there is. Wave energy is weak to moderate at best. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 64°, but that’s about the only good news. It’s pretty hopeless for a proper surf.
Then, after more than a week of nothing, we finally get a slight flicker. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, during the afternoon, conditions change. We get a light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 3 mph, which will clean the surface right up. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the SSW, but the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The energy is moderate. For this break, that’s about as good as it gets in this forecast window. Don't expect anything special, but if you're desperate, that Wednesday arvo is your only real chance to get wet with half-decent conditions.
After that brief hope, it's straight back to poor conditions with onshore wind and tiny swell for the rest of the outlook. This is a tough run for a spot that relies on consistency. It’s a shame, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
