Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pobbles Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. This is one of those outlooks where I’d tell you to leave the board in the car. Pobbles Beach is the only break on the menu, and the whole 16-day window is a total dud.
Every single entry from the 9th of July right through to the 24th of July is showing poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely hitting triple digits, with the best being a weak 90 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the morning of the 14th, and that’s with a tiny 4ft east swell. The swell periods are mostly short and weak, so there’s no push.
The water is weirdly warm – 68°, which is a massive 9° above normal for this time of year. That’s strange, but it doesn’t help the waves.
Winds are a mixed bag. There are a few moments of glassy conditions, like the afternoon of the 11th and the 14th, but with waves only 0.9ft to 3ft, it’s just flat and clean. A few mornings have offshore winds – the 18th, 21st, and 22nd have clean conditions with a moderate offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft) and weak. You’d be sitting on a log.
This spot is inconsistent and only for beginners on a decent day, and there’s no decent day here. The whole 16-day stretch is a gap of nothing. For this area, a blank run is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
