The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Pobbles Beach. Over the next 16 days, you're looking at a mostly flat spell. There’s a real hole in the action here – the first day that’s even worth mentioning doesn’t come until Wednesday the 16th of September, and even that’s a real borderline call. After that, it’s more of the same: small, weak swells and tough conditions.
The week starts off rough. Monday the 14th sees a 1.2m, 9-second WSW swell with a cross-onshore wind and some light rain – total messy conditions. The water’s at 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Tuesday the 15th has cleaner cross-off winds, but a short-period 1.7m W swell still can’t get a good rating.
Your best shot, and I mean your *only* shot, is Wednesday morning the 16th. There’s a 1.4m W swell rolling in at 10 seconds, with clean cross-off winds from the NW. The combined energy hits 369, which is the highest you’ll see. That’s the window. It’s still only a marginal wave, but if you’re aching to paddle out, that’s your morning. The swell direction (W) isn’t the spot’s favorite – it prefers SW – so it won’t be perfect.
From there, it’s all downhill. The rest of the week and into the next has swell sizes dropping below 3ft, periods shortening, and winds turning messy or too light. By the 21st of September, you’re looking at 2ft waves with glassy conditions but pitiful energy. The 22nd afternoon brings a 2ft WSW swell at 11 seconds with light cross-off wind, but it’s still nothing to write home about. The 24th has a 2ft WSW swell, but that’s as good as it gets in the second week.
This is a bleak stretch for Pobbles. It’s known for being inconsistent, and this run shows it. Don’t hold your breath – just keep an eye on the charts ’cause things can turn.
