The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a long, quiet stretch. From now all the way through the 28th of July, Pobbles Beach is basically flat or near-flat. You’ll see plenty of calm, glassy mornings, but with swell heights barely hitting 0.3m, it’s not even worth suiting up. The water temp is way warmer than average for this time of year at about 69°, so if you're just looking for a swim, it’s nice, but no waves.
Things finally wake up on Monday the 29th of July. A solid 7ft WSW groundswell (period 7 seconds) pushes in with a clean north offshore breeze. Combined energy is moderate at 353, and while the period’s a little short, the wind is clean. By the afternoon, it jumps to 10ft from the same direction with a period of 9 seconds and energy blowing up to 1376. This is big, powerful stuff—definitely for experienced surfers only. That 10ft range sticks around through Thursday the 30th, with the best of it on Thursday morning under a cross-offshore ENE breeze and energy hitting a massive 1626. Then Thursday afternoon goes glassy—dead calm, silky conditions, with the same 10ft WSW swell and energy still over 1200. That Thursday afternoon is the real standout. A longer-period groundswell like this (9 seconds) will work best on points and reefs rather than a straight beach break, but since Pobbles Beach is fairly exposed to the swell, it should handle it. Just know it’s big and powerful, not for beginners, and with crowds listed as "sometimes," you might have some company.
By Friday the 31st, the swell drops to a more manageable 5ft to 6ft WSW, with glassy conditions again on the Friday afternoon. Energy falls to the 200s, so still fun, but nowhere near the epic Thursday session.
Through the first weekend of August, it fades back to small, weak, and onshore. A short but sweet window if you’re on it.
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.

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.
