The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, it’s a tough outlook. The whole sixteen-day window looks pretty bleak, with a long stretch of no real surf to speak of. There aren’t any standout days that’ll get your heart racing. The swell is tiny, and conditions just don’t come together for a proper session.
Starting off, the first week is a real bummer. From Saturday the 1st of August through the 6th of August, we’ve got waves barely breaking a foot high, mostly around 0.3 to 0.8 feet out of the west-south-west, with a real short, weak period around 7 to 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is low, mostly in the weak range (37 to 192), so there’s hardly any push. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, with just one brief glassy moment on Sunday afternoon that still leaves us with nothing to ride. The water temperature at Pobbles Beach is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th of August morning shows a little bump – a 1-foot swell from the west-south-west with a 7-second period and a light cross-offshore wind, making for clean conditions. But it’s still a weak, short-period swell (131 energy) and the quality is just ordinary. You might snag a couple, but it’s nothing to write home about.
From Friday the 7th of August all the way through to the 16th of August, it’s flat to tiny – 0.1 to 0.8 feet – with poor conditions and almost no energy. There are a couple of days in the second week with a slightly bigger pulse, like Tuesday the 11th of August morning with 0.8 feet and Wednesday the 12th of August with 1 feet, and the combined energy does climb into the moderate range (151 to 277), but the swell is still short-period and onshore or cross-shore winds chop it all up. This is a beach setup, and with these conditions, you’re better off with a kite if that’s your thing.
No one day stands out – it’s a long, flat run. For this spot, a dry spell isn’t out of the ordinary, but it’s a drag.
Rusty.
