The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the next 16 days for Pobbles Beach. I’ll be blunt: it’s a tough stretch.
There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer. The first decent window isn’t until the 15th of August. From the 2nd through the 14th, it’s all poor. The water is a warm 68°, which is a massive 7° above the norm for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly.
The best swell energy we see before the 15th is on the 5th, with a combined energy of 306 to 358, but that’s paired with a messy cross-shore wind and lumpy chop. The swell hits 5ft to 6ft, but it’s short-period windswell and nasty. The 6th morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 4ft, and it’s still rated as poor.
The only real standout is the afternoon of the 15th of August. The wind is light and cross-offshore, and the wave comment says it’s surfable but very ordinary. The swell is 4ft from the west, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 152. It’s the best you’ll get, but it’s not a classic. Remember, Pobbles Beach is inconsistent and a beginner spot, so expect crowds to be possible.
The 16th and 17th are back to poor, with onshore or glassy conditions on tiny, weak swell. The 17th afternoon goes glassy, but the swell is only 3ft from the WSW.
Overall, it’s a bad run. For a beginner wanting to practice, the 15th might be your only shot. For everyone else, it’s a pass.
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.
