Hobson's Weather Forecast
About
Hobson's, located at 63 N Ash St, Ventura, California, is a fairly exposed reef break that delivers rippable waves for the keen surfer. The swells, best from the Northwest, can rise from less than 1 meter to over 2 meters, creating both left and right-hand rides over a sandy bottom mixed with rock. The ideal conditions occur at low to mid tide, especially during rising and falling tides, enhanced by northeast winds that keep the waters clean. While the wave quality may be sloppy at times, it remains a serene spot, often uncrowded, where one can enjoy the beauty of the Central California coast.
