The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next stretch. I’ll be straight with you—this isn’t a classic run for Pobbles Beach.
Right now and for most of the next couple of weeks, we’ve got tiny dribble. The swell stays flat or close to it, with heights mostly between 0.3 ft and 1 ft. The combined wave energy is weak, often reading single-digit or low double-digit numbers (like 2, 9, 16). That’s barely a ripple. There’s nothing surfable on offer for a long, long stretch—from now through to Wednesday the 29th of July morning, it’s basically a write-off. A gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.
Wind does swing around a bit, and there are some glassy mornings (like Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th) and even some offshore breezes (Monday the 20th morning, Wednesday the 22nd morning, Thursday the 23rd morning), but with no swell to work with, it doesn’t matter. The water’s notably warm—68°—which is way above average for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re bobbing on flat water.
Now, there’s a tiny pulse trying to show late in the run. On Wednesday afternoon the 29th of July, we see a little bump to 3 ft from the WSW with a short period of 6 seconds, and combined energy climbs to 55—still weak but at least something. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’d be a messy dribble.
Then Thursday the 30th of July looks like the only real chance in the entire 16 days. The morning shows 4 ft from the W, period still short at 6 seconds, with combined energy hitting 116—moderate energy at last. The wind is light cross-shore again, so expect a bit of a lumpy, weak wave. The afternoon holds similar size (4 ft, WSW, 6 seconds, energy 119) with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s not going to be great—poor surf conditions are noted—but it’s the only time you might get a wave you can actually stand up on. The swell direction (WSW/W) is okay for Pobbles, which is fairly exposed to SW, but this short-period stuff won’t have any real shape. Beginners might find it manageable at 4 ft, but it’s not going to be clean.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to get excited about for the first two weeks. The only day that might offer a paddle is Thursday the 30th of July. Even then, don’t expect much. If you’re desperate, that’s your window—but keep the expectations low.
Stay tuned, things can change. Rusty out.

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.
