Cobblestones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Cobblestones over the next couple of weeks. This is a solid, exposed reef setup that demands respect, and I’m telling you now, the first few days are a write-off. We don’t get anything worth paddling out for until Monday the 7th.

We kick off with a bit of a wait. Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th is just messy – strong winds, lumpy cross-chop, and poor conditions. The swell is there, pushing 16ft on Friday with a serious 8981 combined energy, but it’s all junk. Not worth your time.

Monday the 7th morning is where the window starts to crack open. We’ve got a clean 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-shore, just a light breeze, leaving it with small ripples. The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a solid, consistent option for the advanced crew, with crowds only showing up *sometimes*. This is a good, honest session.

But the real standout—the one to circle on the calendar—is Tuesday the 8th. The morning is clean with a moderate cross-offshore breeze and a 13ft SW swell at 17 seconds. 9358 combined energy tells you there’s plenty of power. By the afternoon, it cleans right up with a gentle breeze, still holding that 13ft SW swell at 17 seconds, and the energy jumps to 9585. The report calls it exceptional for experts. This is the pick of the week, no question. If you’re an experienced surfer, that Tuesday afternoon is going to be magic.

We get another nice window on Wednesday the 9th. The morning has a moderate offshore breeze from the NE, keeping it clean, with an 12ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds. A little less energy at 5394, but still a very worthwhile paddle for the advanced surfers.

After that, things get smaller and trickier. We’ve got a few marginal days around the 10th and 11th, but the wind and swell don’t line up for anything special. Then the weekend of the 12th and 13th gets blown out again with strong onshores and rain—total mess, just forget about it.

Looking further out, there’s a promising blip on Monday the 14th morning. A clean 13ft SW swell at 16 seconds, light cross-onshore breeze, 7731 energy. It’s marginal, but there’s potential for a sneaky session. And then, another big standout appears on the horizon: Wednesday the 16th morning. A clean, gentle offshore breeze from the ENE, a solid 16ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 12452. That’s exceptional for experts, but remember, it’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed.

Don’t expect much after that, the swell drops off into the 7ft range for the end of the week. The long-period groundswell on the 8th and 16th is best suited to a reef like this, so you’ll get proper, well-shaped waves, but be patient for the sets—they’ll have longer gaps between them.

Rusty out.
