The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, looking at this 16-day window, it’s a tough stretch for Pobbles Beach. We’ve got a long, slow start with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t pop up until Sunday, August 3rd, so you’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of flat or messy conditions before anything gets going.

The standout, and really the only session I’d circle on the calendar, is Monday morning, August 3rd. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WSW, and with a light WNW breeze coming offshore, it should be glassy. The wave energy is moderate (589), so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is a beginner spot, so 6ft is on the upper edge for learning, but with that clean wind, it’s the best we’ll see. Keep in mind, Pobbles is a beach break and inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop show, but the sets that come through will be worth the wait. Crowds are possible, but on a Monday morning in early August, it might not be too bad.

After that, things get sketchy again. The afternoon of the 3rd turns messy with onshore wind, and we get a few marginal days through the 4th and 5th. There’s another chance on Thursday morning, August 6th, with a clean 5ft from the WSW and a light offshore wind (581 energy), but it’s less punchy than Monday’s offering. That’s about it for the whole run. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, no real surprises there.

For a beginner spot like this, when the wind is cross or onshore and the swell is weak, it’s just not worth the effort. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday August 3rd morning is your only real shout.

Stay patient,
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.
