Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s goin’ on at Hobson County Park for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. This reef needs a good WNW swell to fire, but we’re stuck with tiny, weak SSW and SW pulses. Water’s sittin’ around 64°, just a touch warmer than normal for July.
Your first chance to even think about gettin’ wet is Monday the 13th. The morning goes glassy—wind is dead calm from the south at 3 mph. Swell is a sad 2 ft from the SSW, period 13 seconds. Energy is weak, only 107. It’s clean but tiny. If you just need to get wet, that’s your shot.
After that, it’s a long, grim run. Tuesday the 14th through the 24th is mostly blown out. Winds from WSW to SW, onshore or cross-onshore at 6-9 mph. Swell hangs between 1 ft and 3 ft, periods all over—some short 6-second junk, some longer 15-18 second pulses, but the wind ruins it. Every session is marked poor. Wave energy stays weak to moderate, never breakin’ 300 (the highest is 269 on the 25th afternoon).
The one day that comes close to bein’ surfable is Wednesday morning the 15th, with a 3 ft W swell at 6 seconds and a cross-onshore breeze. But that’s short-period slop, not clean. For kite surfers, with those steady onshore winds, it might be fun—for paddlers, it’s a pass.
Lookin’ way ahead to Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, the swell period jumps to 18-21 seconds, and energy picks up a bit. But the swell is still tiny (1-2 ft) and the wind is onshore from the WSW. Too far out to call a winner, but it’s somethin’ to watch. For now, this reef is takin’ a nap.
Hang tight—forecasts change, and it won’t stay this flat forever.
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.
