The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight up: there is no good surf to chase at Hobson County Park (reef) across this whole 16‑day outlook. From Thursday 13 August right through to Friday 28 August, it’s one long stretch of tiny, weak waves. The first block kicks off Thursday morning with a measly 1ft of SSW swell at a very long 16 seconds—classic groundswell period—but the combined energy is only 75 (weak) and the conditions are poor. That same story just keeps rolling day after day. For the bulk of the run you’ll see swell heights stuck between 1.0ft and 3ft, with period ranging from 9 to 19 seconds, and the combined energy mostly under 240 (moderate at best on the afternoons of 15 and 18 August, but still awful waves). Winds are generally light and onshore or cross‑onshore, so you’re looking at small wind ripples or flat, messy water. There is not a single moment where the surf quality improves—everything is rated “poor surf conditions.” For an advanced reef break that needs a clean swell from the WNW, this is a dead period. The whole 16‑day window is a blank run. Given the break is consistent, this much flatness is unusual, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the board at home and keep an eye on the charts.

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.
