Alright, I gotta be straight with you. It's gonna be a pretty quiet run here at Pobbles Beach for a while. The surf is about as flat as the local swimming pool for the next two solid weeks. Don't expect much to change; it’s just one of those periods.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there are no good surf options. The entire first week, from Sunday the 5th right through to Saturday the 12th of July, is a total write-off. We're talking tiny leftover slop with heights mostly below 2 ft, short periods, and poor-quality conditions. The water is about average for the time of year here.
The second week doesn't get any better. From Sunday the 13th through to Monday the 20th of July, it's the same story. The swell barely flickers, and when it does, it's from the west or southwest with combined energy so weak the numbers are just sad, like a pathetic 28 or even as low as 5. You will see some glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, but on a 1 ft wave, glassy just means you can see the bottom clearly.
So, there's no standout session here. Not a single one. This is a classic example of a long stretch where the area just isn't offering anything for paddle surfing. The break is exposed to the southwest, but the swell just isn't cooperating. It's a simple, dry spell. If you're desperate for something on a board with a kite, you might find a fun session, but for a regular surfer, leave the board at home.

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.
