The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, the outlook for Pobbles Beach. Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. The forecast is pretty bleak for most of the next two weeks, with the kind of conditions that'll have you checking the wind and swell obsessively, hoping for a change. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't roll around until Friday the 11th, so we've got a quiet start.
The water is sitting at a notable 66° which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, a solid 5° above the norm. A bit of a treat for the skin, if only the waves would cooperate.
The only spot of genuine interest is Friday morning, September 11th. We've got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 15 km/h and a 5ft swell from the WSW. The period is a solid 9 seconds, and the combined wave energy is moderate (307). That's your window for a session that won't leave you frustrated. The swell direction is a good match for the break's optimum, and the wind is going to keep things tidy. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so you might have some company, but for the quality on offer, it's worth it.
After that, it's a slide back into mediocrity. Saturday the 12th sees a bigger 7ft swell, but it's getting hammered by a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, blown-out mess. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one. Sunday the 13th morning is surfable but ordinary, with clean 4ft waves, but just nothing special to write home about.
Into the second week, we're looking at very small, weak surf and mostly poor conditions. The odd glassy morning on the 15th or 19th might offer a tiny 2ft or 2ft wave, but with low energy (85 and 70 respectively), it's only going to appeal to the most patient longboarder. The rest of the period is plagued by onshore or cross-shore winds and tiny, weak swell. It's a long, blank run from mid-September onward, so don't hold your breath.
So, to sum it up: Friday morning the 11th is your standout. Get out there if you can. The rest is a waiting game.
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. 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.
