The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. This is Rusty.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a flat spell for Hobson County Park. The swell just isn't showing up. We're looking at a run of small, weak surf that’s not going to get the heart rate up. It’s a real bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
The first week is going to be a write-off for any proper surfing. From Thursday the 6th through to at least the 13th, we’ve got ankle-biters, mostly 0.6ft to 1ft. The energy is weak too, with combined energy values often under 150. It's just not doing anything. You’ll be fighting for a wave that never really comes. Winds are mostly light, which is good, but there’s just no power behind the swell. The water is a warm 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope for the weekend of the 15th and 16th. The swell starts to push up a bit, getting to 2ft and 2ft. The combined energy picks up too, hitting the 200s on the Saturday which is a sign of slightly more powerful, organised swell. It's still not big, but it’s the most promising we’ve seen. This is all coming from the SSW, which is a bit cross to the optimum WNW for this spot, so it won't be at its absolute best.
Then, into the week of the 17th and beyond, it looks like it fades again. It's back down to 1ft and 2ft. The energy levels fluctuate, with a couple of days like the 21st showing decent period (14-16 seconds) and energy around 150, but it's still just not enough to make this reef break work properly.
So, what’s the call? If you're desperate for a paddle, the standout is going to be Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th. The swell is at its biggest, and it's more consistent. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the best on offer in this stretch. The rest of the time, it’s a lake out there. Keep an eye on the charts, these long flat spells can change, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
