The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one for Hobson County Park. We’re looking at a 16-day window and honestly, the surf just isn’t cooperating. The numbers are consistently low, with the combined swell energy mostly sitting in the weak to moderate range. There’s no real standout, no magic day to point to. The water here is running 71°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – so while the waves are flat, at least a dip won’t be cold.
We kick off on Tuesday, 1st September with a tiny 1ft swell from the SW, but with a clean 9 mph onshore breeze that’s just making a mess. It’s a no-go. Wednesday and Thursday stay in the same boat: 1ft, onshore or cross-onshore wind, and the swell period is long (13-16 seconds) which would be great for a point break, but here on a reef with that wind, it’s just a ripple. Friday morning of the 4th sees the swell bump to 2ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, giving moderate energy, but again, the cross-onshore wind spoils it. Saturday morning the 5th is the closest we get to a pulse: 2ft from the SSW, 15-second period, energy building, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s not enough.
Then we hit a real slump. Sunday the 6th morning is glassy, but the swell drops to 1.0ft. Monday the 7th is also glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft from the WNW. The energy values are tiny. This is a dead zone. There’s a gap of several days here with nothing to recommend.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope. We see a slight lift on Wednesday the 9th with 3ft from the SSW, but the period is short at 9 seconds and the wind is full onshore at 12 mph. The energy is moderate, but the quality is poor. That pattern repeats – little bumps in swell size but always with onshore wind. The wind just doesn’t let up. The swell direction stays mostly SW, which is off the optimum WNW for this break, so it’s not even wrapping in well.
The bottom line: there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The consistency is there, but it’s consistently poor. If you’re a kite surfer, the strong onshore winds might make for a session, but for a surfboard, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
