The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks at Pobbles Beach.
The overall pattern is a bit of a slow burn, with a real standout window in the middle of the first week. For the first few days, we’re looking at small, ordinary waves. Nothing to get excited about. Saturday morning the 5th will see tiny 3ft waves from the W, but the water is a super warm 67°—that’s 6° above normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. It’s a cross-offshore breeze, but honestly, the waves are so weak (combined energy of just 153) it’s only really a splash-around for the beginners.
The real deal hits on Monday morning, the 7th of September. That’s our standout. The swell jumps up to a solid 6ft from the WSW, and the period is a very long 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a massive 1483 (strong). With a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, this is going to be excellent, clean surf. The catch? At 6ft, it’s getting into the zone that’s best for experienced surfers, not beginners. The long period also means it’s best if you’re surfing a reef or a point, as it might close out a bit on a straight beach break. The wind turns ugly in the afternoon, so make that morning session.
After that, the swell backs off. Tuesday the 8th still has a clean 5ft from the W (combined energy of 460) in the morning, but it’s a bit smaller and less powerful. Still a decent option if you missed Monday, but not the same level of juice.
Then we hit a long, flat patch. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the forecast on the 20th, the surf is really small—mostly under 3ft and often under 2ft. The energy readings drop to two-digit numbers, which is weak. The conditions are often clean or glassy, like on Thursday the 10th morning (glassy, 3ft), but the waves just aren’t there. It’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendations.
So, the plan is simple: if you’re keen, mark your calendar for Monday morning, the 7th of September. That’s the best on offer by a long shot. The rest of the window is a waiting game.
Rusty.
