The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight up with you about Hobson County Park. This forecast is a tough one. The data shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the entire 16-day window from mid-August right through to late August. We're looking at a long, flat spell.
For a spot that's a reef break and rated advanced for when it does work, this is a frustrating run. The swell is tiny, mostly hanging around 1 ft to 2 ft, though there is a spike of 6 ft coming in on Wednesday the 19th of August. But before you get your hopes up, that spike is a short-period, weak windswell from the WNW with a period of just 6 seconds, and the onshore winds won't do it any favors. The combined energy pushes up a bit at that point, but the quality is just not there for a proper paddle session.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. But with waves this small and the wind consistently onshore or cross-onshore, the setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than traditional paddle surfing. The primary optimum swell direction for Hobson County Park is from the WNW, and while that 6 ft spike on the 19th fits the direction, the lack of any real period or favorable wind means it's a miss.
Honestly, my friends, this is a period to save your energy. It’s not unusual for this stretch to go quiet, but it won't stay this way forever. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, give it a miss.
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.
