The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions ahead, so don't get your hopes up.
Let's break it down. For the bulk of the forecast, starting Thursday the 30th of July and running all the way through to the 8th of August, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-off, and cross-on. The wave energy is laughable, barely cracking 60 or 70 (combined energy), and often sitting in the teens or twenties. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to stay on the beach and have a beer.
There's a tiny glimmer, just a flicker, on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. For a few hours, we get a clean offshore breeze from the N, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the WSW. The combined energy hits 197 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest pulse we see. But it's still only a 1 out of 10 on the quality scale. The waves are surfable, but they're messy and unexciting. It's a real "meh" moment. After that, it's back to tiny, weak stuff for the rest of the second week.
The only spot on the radar is Pobbles Beach. It's a beginner-friendly, inconsistent break that's fairly exposed to the swell. Water temps are a balmy 69°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, but it's about the only thing going for it. The whole setup is just not working. With such weak, onshore-influenced waves, this spot looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard for most of the period.
Honestly, it's a frustrating outlook. A blank run like this isn't totally abnormal for the area, but it still stings. We just have to wait for the next proper swell to roll in.
Rusty.

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.
