The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Hobson County Park.
To be honest, the whole 16-day outlook is pretty flat. Most of the time the surf is poor, with tiny waves and weak energy. There are a few windows with clean offshore wind, but the swell is just too small to get any real ride going.
The first chance comes Monday the 17th of August, but it’s no good. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th have small 2 to 2ft SSW swells with clean light winds, but the energy is only moderate. It’s a morning glass-off for a longboard, but don’t expect much.
Thursday the 20th through Monday the 25th of August is all tiny, with waves around 1 to 2ft. Wind is often offshore, which keeps the surface smooth, but there’s just no power. On the 25th, a 3ft W swell shows up but with a short period, so it won’t have any push.
The end of the month shows a little more life. Saturday the 29th of August morning has a 3ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, and energy jumps up strong. The wind is light and cross-onshore, which is a bummer because it messes the face. It’s a reef break, so the long period will hold it up, but it won’t be perfect.
Sunday the 30th of August keeps the 3ft SSW groundswell with light offshore wind in the afternoon, and strong energy. The long period means long waits between sets, and it’s for experienced surfers only. Crowds are possible.
Water temp is 70°F, which is about 6°F above normal. Very unusual for this time of year – it feels like warm summer water, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
Honestly, there is no true standout in this forecast. The biggest energy lands on the 29th and 30th of August, but the wind keeps it from being a home run. If you’re a patient expert looking for long-period reef waves, you could get a few. For everyone else, I’d find something else to do.
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.
