The Lowdown

Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run for this spot. The first week and a bit is looking flat or close to it, with hardly any rideable surf. From Friday the 17th right through to the 25th, the swell is barely showing its face – we’re talking mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, with a few little pulses that don’t get past 2ft. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy sitting in the single digits or low teens (13, 6, 8) – that’s basically nothing. Water temp is way above normal for this time of year, sitting at 69°F, so it’s a warm bath, but there’s no real swell to enjoy it.

There’s a bit of hope around the 26th and 27th. On Sunday the 26th, we start to see some swell building: 3ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, both from the west, with a period of 6 seconds – short period windswell. The energy is picking up (45 and 58), but it’s still pretty weak. The morning has a nice offshore wind from the north at 9 mph, so that’ll keep things clean for a beginner. This is about the best on offer, but it’s nothing to write home about. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect waves rolling through regularly.

Then on Monday the 27th, we get the biggest swell of the period: 5ft from the west, with a 7-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 247 (moderate wave energy). That’s the standout in terms of size. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. But at 5ft, this is getting a bit too big for beginners. It’s still shoulder-high, and the quality is just “surfable but ordinary” – it’s not going to be epic. Pobbles Beach is a fairly exposed spot, and the optimum swell direction is southwest, but this west swell is okay.

After that, things taper off quickly. From the 28th through to the 1st of August, the swell drops back under 5ft, mostly 0.3ft to 4ft, with wind staying cross-off or off. The energy fades back to weak levels (93 to 100 on the 1st). The 1st of August sees a 4ft west swell, but nothing special.

So, if you’re a beginner looking for a tiny, clean wave, the morning of Sunday the 26th with that light offshore wind might be your best bet. For anyone else, the standouts (and I use that loosely) are the 5ft west swell on the 27th, but don’t expect quality – it’s just the biggest, cleanest option. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have some company, but it won’t be packed with this weak forecast. No real kite surfing conditions here with the small swell.

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.

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.
