The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and knots for the crew who think in Imperial.
Let’s be straight – Pobbles Beach (Pobbles-Beach) is looking like a total dud for the entire 16-day run. There is no good surf to be had. The first faint whisper of anything even close to surfable shows up on Thursday the 27th of August, but it’s still poor.
If you’re absolutely scratching for a paddle, the only day that hits the “marginal” button is Friday the 28th of August afternoon. You’ve got a 6ft swell from the west with a 8-second period – short period windswell, no real power behind it. The combined energy is a strong 691, but the wind is a cross-off from the NNW at 16 mph, keeping the surface clean. Still, it’s a beginner break, inconsistent, and the water temp is a crazy 70°, which is 9° warmer than usual. That’s just odd.
From the 29th of August through the 6th of September, it’s all poor. The 3rd of September morning offers 5ft from the WSW with an 8-second period and combined energy of 331, but the wind is messy cross-onshore. The biggest blow comes on the 5th of September afternoon: a 3ft swell getting hammered by a 34 mph near gale from the SW. That’s kite territory, not surfing.
So there you go – nothing to chase. This kind of flat spell happens here. It could change, but for now, leave the board in the van.
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.
