The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Looking at the 16-day window for Pobbles Beach, I’m not gonna lie, it’s a tough stretch. The first several days are a write-off – poor surf conditions with messy onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. The swell is all over the place, but the wind just ruins it. There’s a real dry spell from Thursday morning all the way through the following Wednesday afternoon, so about six days of nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, the 7th of September. The morning session shows some promise. Swell is coming in at 7ft from the WSW, but the period is a very long 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a strong 1587, so there’s a lot of power behind it. The wind is offshore, so the face will be clean. This is for experts, though – 7ft with that long period is not for the faint of heart. It’s a bit of a standout, but it’s only a marginal call due to tide issues. The afternoon gets lumpy again.
The next real standout is on Monday, the 14th of September. Morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and offshore. The combined energy is 308 – moderate, but the conditions are right. The water temperature is 68°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual. That’s very unusual, don’t need a wetsuit for sure.
Tuesday, the 15th of September, has a glassy morning with a small 3ft swell from the west, 9-second period, zero wind. It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, the swell drops off a cliff again for the rest of the window.
Overall, the best on offer is that Monday the 7th morning for the experienced crew, and Monday the 14th morning for a cleaner, more manageable session. The crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so you might get a bit of company at Pobbles.
