The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a chair. Hobson County Park is a reef setup that’s fairly exposed and needs waves out of the WNW. But for the next 16 days, it’s a dry spell.
Starting Saturday the 8th of August, there’s nothing. The swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the SSW with a long period of 16 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the energy is weak (133). The water is a massive 7°F warmer than normal, which is very unusual. Sunday and Monday are the same story – tiny waves, cross-on winds, and poor conditions. The combined energy drops to 89 on Tuesday morning, and down to 76 by Thursday morning. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and nothing’s working.
We get a tiny spark on Friday morning, the 14th of August. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus, and the combined swell energy hits 162 – still only moderate. The swell is 1 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. That’s the best it gets, and it’s not much.
The rest of the 16 days is a blank. Saturday the 15th offers 2 ft to 2 ft waves, but the wind is blowing onshore at 12 mph, so it’s messy. The following days are all onshore winds, small swell, and the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.” The energy hits 243 on the 15th, but it’s all wasted.
The late window around the 21st and 22nd of August shows a shift to a westerly swell, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the wind is still onshore. Still no good. The whole 16-day stretch is a washout. For a consistent reef, it’s a real bummer, but things can turn.

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.
Hobson County Park is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of Ventura. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ventura. Ventura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
