The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about Pobbles Beach – we've got a long, dry spell ahead.
Honestly, looking at this whole 16-day window, the surf is flat. There’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy barely gets out of the single digits for the first week and a half, only climbing into the 30s and 40s later on, which is still weak (energy values of 3 to 75). The waves are tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and the swell direction is almost always out of the west, which isn't ideal for this spot as it's exposed to the southwest.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, you’re looking at flat, clean conditions with some glassy mornings, but no waves to surf. The water temp on the 21st was a balmy 69°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
There's a slight pulse of energy around Sunday the 26th with a 3ft swell from the west-southwest, but the period is a short, junky 6 seconds. By the time we get to the first weekend of August, the swell nudges up to 3ft on the Saturday morning with a light offshore wind (clean conditions), but the period is still short and the combined energy is only 75 – just not enough grunt for a proper wave.
The whole outlook is a blank run. This is pretty normal for the area when there's no real swell. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
