Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pobbles Beach over the next 16 days.
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up. It’s a bit of a flat spell, no two ways about it. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for over this whole sixteen-day stretch. Pobbles Beach is the only break on the cards, and it’s going to be a quiet one.
So the pattern is, we start off with tiny, weak waves. Wednesday the 8th of July, you’re looking at a 1ft swell from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds. Wind’s glassy in the morning, which would be lovely if there was any power, but wave energy’s only 23, and it’s labelled poor surf conditions. That’s your first day, and it honestly never gets much better.
The whole first week and into the second is plagued by tiny swell and inconsistent, weak energy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no dramas there, but the swell just isn’t there. There’s a gap of a solid ten days or so where nothing is recommended. You get a little bump in energy on the morning of Tuesday the 14th with a 4ft easterly swell, but the period is a pathetic 5 seconds and it’s cross-shore wind at 30 km/h, creating a lumpy chop. The combined energy hits 83, but it’s poor quality – a short-period windswell that’s just messy.
Even the few moments with offshore wind, like Friday afternoon the 10th with a 2ft swell and clean conditions, the wave energy is only 56. It’s not enough to get excited about. The swell direction is never a good match for what Pobbles needs, and those tiny wave heights just won't break properly. For a beach break like this, it’s a no-go.
Honestly, this is one of those runs where you’re better off leaving the board in the car. It’s just a blank period. The forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing here for a surfer.
Rusty.

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.
