The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real – the next couple weeks are looking pretty flat and rough. For the first nine days, it’s basically a write-off. Small, messy, chopped-up surf with the wind all wrong. The swell shows up sometimes, but it’s short-period and weak (249, 296), and the direction is all over the place. You’re not going to find anything clean out there.
The one tiny window comes on Sunday, September 27th, and even that’s barely worth the paddle. We finally get a clean break – a moderate offshore wind and a clean 1.2m of WSW swell. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary. The period is short, around 6 seconds, and the energy is still weak (99). It’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re jonesing, that’s your only real shot. There’s also a tiny 0.8m pulse on the Monday morning after, but that’s about as small as it gets.
So, bottom line: this whole 16-day stretch is a dud. The one moment of clean conditions is small and weak, and the rest is just blown out. This is one of those times where you’re better off saving your energy for when the ocean gets its act together. It won’t stay this bad forever, but it’s going to be a while.
Stay salty.

A general guide to surfing at Pobbles Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
