The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a total write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we get well into the second week of August. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit but at least it’s not freezing.

Things finally start looking up on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got a small, clean 4ft swell from the WSW, period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak and a bit fat. The combined energy is only 190 (moderate). It’s surfable but very ordinary – not gonna get the heart pumping.

Now, the real standout in this whole 16-day window is Monday, August 17th, in the morning. That’s your best bet by a long shot. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW, combined energy jumping up to 484 (strong wave energy). The wind is WNW at 10 km/h, light and cross-offshore, keeping the faces nice and clean. The swell direction is from the southwest, which is exactly what Pobbles is set up to handle. The periods are still a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and not the most powerful, but for this stretch, it’s easily the pick. It’s not too big for a decent intermediate surfer, but a beginner might find 5ft a little challenging.

That afternoon on the 17th, the wind swings and it gets messy again. And by Tuesday the 18th, a stormy cross-wind kicks up with fresh breezes and lumpy conditions, so don’t bother.

To sum it up: you’ve got a long, dry spell with no surf until a brief window of clean-ish 4ft waves on Sunday the 16th, and then one solid morning on Monday the 17th that’s your best shot – clean, decent size, and strong energy. After that, it’s back to grovel or nothing.

Stay tuned, things can change fast.

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.
