The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve chewed over the numbers for Pobbles Beach, and I’ve got to level with you. It’s a tough stretch ahead.
Right off the bat, there’s a big dry spell. From now until the end of July, we’re talking a solid run of flatness. Swell heights are barely nudging 0.6ft for most of it, and combined energies are stuck in the single digits or low teens (2-16). It’s all poor surf conditions. The water’s a warm 69°, which is a wild 9° warmer than it should be for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but it doesn’t matter when there are no waves to ride.
You’ll see some glassy mornings, like on the 20th or the 24th, with flat calm wind, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s not going to break. The wind shifts around — cross, glass, offshore — but it’s pointless when there’s nothing to surf.
There’s one tiny flicker right at the end. On Friday the 31st of July, the morning shows a bit of a pulse: a 4ft swell from the southwest, with the combined energy hitting 143 – that’s moderate energy. It’s a short period swell at 8 seconds, so it won’t have that long, powerful shape. The wind is light offshore from the north, so the face should be clean. The guidance says this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so any pulse is a big deal here. But the info calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and the wind picks up in the afternoon. For beginners, 4ft could be a bit much, but it’s the only chance you’ve got all forecast.
That’s the story. A long stretch of flatness, capped off by one very average day. Keep your hopes low and your eyes on the forecast.
