The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hobson County Park are a tough watch. The forecast is a flat, drawn-out run of tiny surf and poor conditions. There’s no standout, no day to get excited about. The waiting game is on.
The water is a real talking point, though. It’s sitting at 69°F right now, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, like bathwater. Makes you want to be in it, but the waves just aren't cooperating.
We kick off Friday, 7 August, with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a long period of 19 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is weak (131). It’s a poor surf call. Saturday morning (8 August) is more of the same: 1ft SSW swell, 18-second period, onshore wind at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (145) but the wind ruins it. The whole first week is a blur of 1ft to 2ft swells with onshore or cross-onshore breezes. The period is long, but the swell is too small to do anything with at this reef. The energy climbs a bit around the 15th and 16th of August, hitting 240 and 236, but the swell is still only 2ft to 2ft and the wind is onshore. The waves are just messy.
Into the second week, the pattern doesn’t change. The 17th of August shows a 2ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, and the energy is strong (254), but again, the wind is onshore. The 18th through the 22nd of August drop back to 1ft to 2ft swells, with light winds but still mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The energy levels are moderate, but the surf quality is consistently rated as poor. The long period swells (15-19 seconds) are a feature here, but for a reef break that’s sensitive to direction, the small size and bad wind just make it a non-starter.
To be honest, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. This is a blank run. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better call.
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.
