The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim. We’re staring at a long, flat spell with hardly any energy reaching the coast. For Pobbles Beach, the entire first week is a write-off – nothing but tiny dribbles of swell and mainly poor conditions. We’re talking barely 0.3ft to 0.7ft for days on end, with weak combined energy, making it not worth paddling out. The wind offers some clean moments, like the glassy Monday morning or the gentle offshore on Wednesday morning, but there’s simply no wave to ride. It’s a painful gap of about 6 days with no real surf.
Things finally show a pulse around Sunday, July 26th. Sunday morning is where we get a little spike of 6ft swell coming from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 327 – moderate, but the description says “marginal surf forecast”. The wind is cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. Still, the swell period is short and the size is getting into the range that might be a bit much for beginners. It’s the best we’ve got in the whole outlook, but it’s far from a standout – just the least poor option.
After that, we drift back into smaller stuff for the rest of the period, with nothing else really firing. The morning of August 1st shows a glimmer of 4ft swell from the WSW with glassy conditions – surfable but ordinary. But the afternoon turns to cross-shore chop again.
So overall, this is a blank run that’s fairly normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now you’re better off keeping the board in the car.
Rusty.
