The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next 16 days at Hobson County Park, this time in feet and Fahrenheit. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and truth be told, it’s looking like a tough stretch. The water is an unusually warm 68°, which is a solid three degrees warmer than usual for July—definitely a weird one.
Right off the bat, from Monday, July 20th, all the way through to Sunday morning, July 26th, it's a total bust. Six straight days of "poor surf conditions." No scores worth a damn. The wind is mostly onshore from the WSW, and the swell is tiny—mostly 2ft from the SSW, with a long period (14-21 seconds). There’s some moderate wave energy (202 to 501), but the onshore wind and small size kill it. The wind is light most of the time, but that doesn't help much when you have nothing to ride.
We finally get a pulse on Monday, July 27th. Swell stays small, about 2ft from the SSW, still a long period groundswell (18 seconds). The wind is light onshore, and the wave energy is moderate (432). We finally see a "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions" come up for the first time. It's not good, but it's the first sign of life in a week. This marginal window holds through to Wednesday morning, July 29th, with the swell holding at 2ft and periods from 16-19 seconds. By Wednesday afternoon, it’s back to poor.
The best on offer is that short window from the 27th to the 29th. The optimal direction for Hobson is WNW, and we’re getting SSW, so the wrap isn’t ideal. A long period groundswell like this is usually better suited for a reef or point break than a beach, so that works in our favor here. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you won't be totally alone. Expect small, clean, but weak waves.
From July 30th through August 4th, it fades completely. Swell drops to 1ft, then 0.7ft, and wave energy plummets to a weak 20-77. Light onshore wind keeps things flat and messy. If you're into kitesurfing with light cross-onshore breeze, the setup might be more interesting than for paddle surfing, but honestly, there’s nothing to work with here.
Flat spells are normal for this spot. If you're an advanced surfer hungry for a tiny, clean window, the 27th to 29th is your only shot. Otherwise, sit this one 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.
