Hey mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk Pobbles Beach and the next sixteen days.
Honestly, the first week is a tough watch. From Monday the 6th all the way through to Thursday the 16th, it’s flat and messy. The swell barely cracks a foot, and combined energy sits in the weak 30 to 50 range. There’s a glassy dawn on Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, but with waves only 0.3m, you’re just floating around. Nothing to ride.
We finally get a little hope on Saturday the 18th of July. Swell hits 1.3m out of the west, energy jumps to a moderate 144, and the wind stays clean cross-off. But the period is short – only 6 seconds – so expect lumpy, wind-driven lines. It’s surfable, but not pretty.
The one proper highlight lands on Tuesday the 21st of July morning. This is the session. Swell pushes to 1.6m from the west-southwest, and we get a clean offshore breeze out of the north-northwest. The energy number blows up to 402 (strong wave energy). For a spot that’s inconsistent and best for beginners, this is a gift. The water temp is about normal for July, nothing unusual. Just remember, Pobbles Beach is rarely this good, so if you can get out that Tuesday morning, do it.
After that, the rest of the second week has a few smaller 1.0m to 1.4m days with clean wind, but nothing truly special. There’s a dry stretch of about twelve days from the start before that Saturday the 18th shows any life. A long wait, but forecasts can shift.
Keep your eye on the 21st. That’s the one.
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.
Pobbles Beach is 13 km (8 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
