The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with you, this stretch looks like a tough watch. There’s a big gap right at the start with nothing worth paddling out for. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off – tiny, weak surf with a combined energy often in the single digits (2, 3, 7). You’d be fighting for scraps. The water temperature is sitting at a very warm 69°F, which is about 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, like we’ve jumped into a different season.
We finally see a bit of life kicking off around Sunday the 26th of July. The morning shows the swell picking up to 3ft from the west with a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 56. The cross-offshore wind from the NW keeps it clean, but the wave quality is still poor. Come the afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the west (energy 116), but with that same short period, it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
The biggest pulse in the whole outlook arrives on Friday the 31st of July. The morning shows a 6ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period and combined energy jumping to 376 – that’s moderate strength. It’s cross-shore wind though, and conditions are described as poor. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore NE breeze and the swell sits at 5ft from the WSW (energy 250). The score for that afternoon is a measly 1, described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.”
After that, the run drops off again into early August. There’s no true standout here, no day where everything aligns. If I had to pick the most promising window, it’s that Friday 31st of July afternoon – it’s the only slot that even gets close to “surfable.” Keep your expectations low, and maybe bring a kite if you’re into that, because a fair few of those sessions with moderate cross-onshore wind look more suited for that than a paddle.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
