You never know until you try. One does not need to play another instrument before the oboe.

Rent one and see if you can find a teacher near you. Do bear in mind that the reeds are expensive and make sure that you can afford the upkeep (or if you are a minor, that your parents are willing to upkeep your supply for you).

Clarinet was my first instrument and I never had trouble going from clarinet to oboe. But, yeah like StephenK said, just try it, and if you like it continue playing. Oboe is such a beautiful sounding instrument and I think you'll love it. Good luck!
