The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s your local surf reporter Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Pobbles Beach. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with next to nothing on offer. The whole run is a flat spell, and I mean flat. The first real sign of any surf doesn’t even show up until Saturday the 26th of July, and even then it’s a sad little pulse. There’s a gap of about four days from the start of the forecast with zero recommendations. Basically, this is one of those times where you’re better off doing something else.
The first bit of action pops up on Saturday the 26th of July, but it’s not worth getting excited about. Sunday morning the 27th sees a bump up to 4 ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (123), but the wind is a cross-shore from the west at 12 mph, which leaves it a lumpy mess. It’s poor surf conditions. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but the quality is just not there. For a beginner, 4 ft is borderline, but with the wind and chop, it’s not friendly.
The only other day that gets a pulse is Sunday the 2nd of August. The afternoon has 4 ft from the southwest, period of 6 seconds, and moderate energy (129), but it’s raining and the wind is a cross-shore from the west at 16 mph. It’s messy, choppy, and just not worth paddling out for.
Pobbles Beach is an inconsistent, beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temperature on the first day mentioned is 69°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like bathwater. But with no surf, it doesn’t help us.
Don’t waste your time with this forecast. It’s a rare blank run for the area, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Pobbles Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
