The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at this 16-day window, it’s a tough stretch for Pobbles Beach. We’ve got a long, slow start with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t pop up until Sunday, August 3rd, so you’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of flat or messy conditions before anything gets going.
The standout, and really the only session I’d circle on the calendar, is Monday morning, August 3rd. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WSW, and with a light WNW breeze coming offshore, it should be glassy. The wave energy is moderate (589), so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is a beginner spot, so 6ft is on the upper edge for learning, but with that clean wind, it’s the best we’ll see. Keep in mind, Pobbles is a beach break and inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop show, but the sets that come through will be worth the wait. Crowds are possible, but on a Monday morning in early August, it might not be too bad.
After that, things get sketchy again. The afternoon of the 3rd turns messy with onshore wind, and we get a few marginal days through the 4th and 5th. There’s another chance on Thursday morning, August 6th, with a clean 5ft from the WSW and a light offshore wind (581 energy), but it’s less punchy than Monday’s offering. That’s about it for the whole run. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, no real surprises there.
For a beginner spot like this, when the wind is cross or onshore and the swell is weak, it’s just not worth the effort. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday August 3rd morning is your only real shout.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
