Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, this is a tough one to write.
Right off the bat, I can tell you the opening days are a bit of a mixed bag. We're starting off on Thursday, the 2nd of July, with a 6ft swell from the west, but it's a short period windswell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (337), but it's not coming together for a clean ride. That wind is a cross-off and the report flat out says it's marginal. Not exactly a green light.
Friday the 3rd drops off fast. Swell is down to 3ft and the conditions are poor. Through the weekend and into the start of the following week, it's just tiny and messy. We're looking at a massive gap here, folks. From Friday, the 3rd of July, right through until at least Wednesday, the 8th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell just bottoms out, with heights dropping to 1ft and even 1.0ft. It's a real dry spell.
For a brief moment on Wednesday the 8th, we get a glassy clean window early with offshore winds, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft with only 15 combined energy. You'd be floating out there, not surfing. There is a moment on the 9th of July where it's glassy again, with light air, but again, the ocean is flat at 1.0ft.
Looking way down the line, there are some interesting things on the horizon, but they're a long way off. Around Sunday, the 12th of July, we see a long-period pulse starting to rattle through – a 0.7ft swell from the northwest with a period of 16 seconds. That's very long period for such a tiny wave. In fact, the energy readings stay critically low, all under 100 for the whole second half of the window. The best looking wind comes on the 13th of July with a solid 19-second period groundswell from the southwest and clean offshore winds, but again, it's just 0.3ft. The energy is only at 24. You can't ride a ripple, no matter how clean it is.
If you’re an absolute beginner and just want to sit on a board in some warm water, maybe you could flop around on the morning of the 8th or the 9th. But for anyone looking for a real surf, this 16-day outlook for Pobbles Beach is a write-off. It's a blank run, plain and simple.
Stay tuned, things can change. Keep an eye on that horizon.

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.
Pobbles Beach is 13 km (8 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
