The Lowdown
Right, you’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch, mate. Save your energy for a bit, because we’ve got a real dry spell on the way. The first decent chance doesn’t show up until Monday, the 17th, so you’re looking at a solid gap of quiet days.
Pobbles Beach is the only spot in the picture, and it’s not a place that fires often anyway – it’s an inconsistent, beginner-friendly beach break. The first ten days are either tiny, blown out, or just not worth talking about.
The one highlight lands on the morning of Monday the 17th. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a 9-second period – that’s a solid little groundswell, and the energy is moderate, coming in at 199 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is going to be glassy. Completely flat. That’s a massive positive. It’ll be clean as a whistle. The water is sitting at 69° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, a real anomaly of 8°, so it’ll feel like a warm bath. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here on a good day, and this glassy window will definitely bring a few folks out.
After that Monday morning window, the wind swings onshore again and the swell drops off. A couple of mornings on the 16th do show cross-off winds and a bit of size (5ft from the WSW), but with a short 6-second period and moderate energy, it’ll be lumpy and hard to enjoy. For beginners, that 5ft is already getting big.
So, it’s a waiting game. That Monday morning glass-off is your only real shot. Make it count.

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. If you surf the same spot (Pobbles Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
