The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the look ahead for Pobbles Beach. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to call. We're looking at a long, flat spell to kick things off, with barely a ripple for the best part of a week and a half. It’s gonna be a quiet time on the sand.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle, with surf quality rated as poor right across the board. There’s a big blank gap from now until the 27th of July where there’s just nothing doing. From the 27th we get a few tiny bumps, but it's not until the very tail end of the run that we see any real shape.
Let’s talk about that little pulse around the 28th of July. Tuesday morning sees a bit of a lift with a 5ft swell rolling in from the west. The energy is moderate at 204. It’s cross-offshore wind (WNW) which will keep the surface clean, but with the swell period sitting at a short 7 seconds, it’s not going to have any punch. For beginners, this is probably the only time it's even worth looking, though it's on the cusp of being too big. By Tuesday afternoon the wind picks up and gets lumpy.
Then, from the 2nd of August, we get the most interesting little window. Sunday the 2nd has a glassy morning with a 2ft west swell and a period of 5 seconds. Wave energy is moderate but weak at 67. It’s small, but that glassy surface is gold. The true standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 3rd of August morning. We get clear skies, a light offshore wind from the north, and a 2ft western swell with a period bumping up to 8 seconds. It’s still small, with moderate energy at 75, but that offshore wind will make it the cleanest and most lined-up it’s been all fortnight. For a long-range hope, this is the one to circle, but don't get your hopes up too high. Tuesday the 4th keeps similar clean conditions but the swell fades.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. You might not need the full wetsuit, but don't get caught out.
Overall, it's a lean period for Pobbles Beach. The surf is infrequent and mostly small. The best chance for a clean, ridable wave is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August.
Rusty.
