The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the full 16-day look at things for us. I’ll be honest, it’s a tough stretch ahead. There are no standout sessions, no epic windows. It’s going to be a case of picking the least bad moments if you’re desperate for a paddle.

We’re looking at a period that starts with hardly any energy and stays that way for a long time. The first real pulse of size doesn’t show up until around Sunday the 26th, and even then, it’s not clean.

Right now, through the coming week, we’ve got nothing but tiny, weak waves. Swell heights are barely a ripple, and the energy readings are in the single digits. For example, this Sunday morning the 19th, the combined energy is only 6, and that’s with a 1 ft swell from the ESE that’s getting chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze. It’s a write-off. Monday and Tuesday are similar – flat, weak, and messy. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Thursday morning the 23rd, with a tiny 0.3 ft SW swell, but there's just no power to surf.

The wind does swing offshore on Wednesday morning the 22nd, coming from the NNW at 16 mph, which would clean things up, but again, the swell is only 0.7 ft. It’s a classic case of clean but flat.

We then have a long gap of tiny surf right through to the weekend of the 26th and 27th.

Finally, around Sunday the 26th, we get our first proper swell of the outlook. On Sunday morning, the swell hits 3 ft from the W, with a combined energy of 75 and a moderate cross-offshore wind. That’s the most promising window we have – it’s clean and has some push. But, it's a short-period swell at 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much shape. This is a beginner-friendly size, but the quality will be average. The best bet is Pobbles Beach here. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

By Sunday afternoon the 26th, the swell builds to 4 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and the energy jumps to 113, creating a lumpy, choppy surface. Monday the 27th is similar – clean in the morning with 3 ft, but the period stays short. This stretch is the "best on offer," and it’s really just a case of making the most of a clean 3 ft to 4 ft wave at Pobbles Beach.

After that, it drops off again into the first week of August. There’s another small swell pulse on Friday the 31st of July, but it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore wind and rain showers, making it pretty unpleasant. The end of the run on August 2nd and 3rd is just windy, rainy, and small.

If you're a beginner, the clean windows on the 27th and 28th mornings might offer a safe, weak wave to practice on. For anyone else, it’s going to be a frustrating 16 days. Let’s hope the next system delivers something with a bit more period and a cleaner wind direction.

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. Our Pobbles Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Pobbles Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
