The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, let's get into it you crew. This is Rusty here with the goods on a pretty tough run of surf on the cards.

Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: the next week to ten days are a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid gap from now until nearly the second week of September with nothing worth paddling out for. The combination of onshore winds and messy, short-period chop just keeps the ocean looking like a mess. The swell energy is weak, barely hitting three digits (42) on Tuesday morning and staying weak. The wind is just no good, cross or cross-on, with heavy lump and chop.

Then, we get a shift around the 29th of August where the swell tries to pump up, hitting 5 ft with a moderate energy of 196, but it's raining and the onshore wind is just going to ruin it. By Saturday the 30th afternoon, we see a big jump in size to 10 ft from the WSW, with a massive energy spike (1202), but the period is short at 9 seconds and the wind is howling cross-shore at 19 mph. That's not surf, that's a washing machine, and honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the average bloke. It stays blown out and messy right through to the 7th of September.

The lone standout, the one light in the dark, is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. This is your chance. We get a proper solid 6 ft swell from the WSW with a good 15-second period, giving it some serious grunt and energy (1368). But the real winner is the glassy, gentle offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph. That's the clean-up crew we've been waiting for, and it’ll make for excellent, well-shaped waves. It’s a solid size, so this is definitely one for the experienced crew. The long period will push through the line-up nicely, but it might be a bit straight for the beachies, so keep an eye on the banks.

For the rest, Pobbles Beach is a beginner spot and inconsistent. For the few days around the 3rd and 4th of September, the wind cleans up but the swell just doesn't have any size or energy to work with, topping out at marginal scores. There's a brief window on the afternoon of the 3rd with a clean 8 ft swell and 678 energy, but the period is too short and it's just a tease.

So, the call: wait. Wait until the 8th. It's a long way off, but that's the one to circle on your calendar. Don't waste your petrol on the rest of this junk.

Rusty.

Information about the Pobbles Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Pobbles Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pobbles Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pobbles Beach 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.

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 Pobbles Beach 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.
