The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same beach, different numbers. The start of this forecast is a bummer. We’ve got a big, empty gap with no real surf to speak of until the 2nd of August.
The water is a bath-like 69°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than it should be this time of year. That’s the weirdest thing in the data.
The first real pulse comes on the morning of the 2nd of August. A big SW groundswell hits with 10ft of swell and a 9-second period, packing a massive 1507 units of energy. The wind is a brutal cross-onshore from the SSW at 28 mph, ripping the surface apart. That afternoon, it builds to 12ft and 11 seconds from the WSW, with energy jumping to 2912, but the wind is still a strong cross-onshore at 25 mph. For a beginner break, 10ft and 12ft is way too heavy. The wind is going to make it a mess. This is more of a kiteboarding day than a surfing day.
The only real window of opportunity is the morning of the 3rd of August. The swell drops to 4ft from the WSW, with a 7-second period and moderate energy of 125. The wind turns light and cross-offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, giving you clean conditions. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only wave that’s actually rideable in the whole outlook.
Looking ahead to the 8th of August, Saturday morning, there’s a 6ft swell from the WSW with a 7-second period and energy of 653. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph. That’s a solid, clean forecast, but it’s over a week away and the forecast confidence is low. If it comes together, that’s your day.
The pick of the lot is the morning of the 3rd for a small, clean wave, and the 8th of August is the one to keep an eye on. For the rest, it’s a whole lot of nothing.
Rusty.

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.
