The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. We've got a full 16-day window for Hobson County Park, and I gotta tell ya, this one's a tough watch. The entire forecast is a string of "poor surf conditions" with every session scoring a zero on the quality meter. There are no good days to pick from, no standout sessions. It's a flat, blown-out ghost town for the whole run.
The problem is clear. Even though the water is a warm 70°F (a hefty 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is mighty unusual), the swell is just pitiful. For the next two and a half weeks, you're looking at tiny waves, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, coming from the SW and W. The problem is that the optimum swell for this reef (Hobson County Park) is from the WNW, so we're getting the energy all wrong.
That combined energy reading is weak, mostly sitting in the low one-hundreds to low two-hundreds (129 to 251), which tells you there's just no grunt in the water. The wind is mostly light, but it's never properly offshore; it's either "on" (onshore) or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean face. Even the few mornings that are glassy are ruined by the complete lack of size and poor direction. The period on the 9th is a massive 19 seconds, which at a beach-reef setup like this, would likely just roll through fat and straight.
There's a gap of nothing but flat, poor conditions from now right through to the end of the 16 days. Don't bother paddling out. Honestly, with the consistent onshore breeze and small, weak swell, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
