The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, with the same outlook but in feet and Fahrenheit for you.
Alright, Pobbles Beach is looking like a total dud for the next 16 days. I can’t find a single window worth paddling out. It’s a long, flat, and blown-out stretch.
Starting Friday the 21st of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW with a 8 second period. Wind is cross-off and clean, but the energy is weak (73). Water temp is 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 9° above average, so you might not need a thick suit, but you won’t need a board either.
Saturday the 22nd is glassy in the morning with a NE breeze, but the swell is down to 1ft. Pretty, but pointless. Sunday the 23rd drops to 0.3ft – 0.7ft, with a 14 second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, but there’s no height to push it. A spot like this needs more to work with.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are blown out with fresh easterly winds and lumpy cross-shore chop. Swell stays around 2ft or less, energy below 50. Wednesday the 26th afternoon goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft at 5 seconds – that’s junk.
Late August builds some size, but the quality is poor. From the 28th, we see 3ft to 6ft swell, but it’s all cross-on or cross-shore, with short 6 to 8 second periods. Energy climbs into the hundreds (286, 538, 782), which is strong, but the winds ruin it. By the 30th and 31st, we’ve got 5ft to 6ft cross-on swell, but it’s choppy and lumpy. The 31st of August has a 6ft morning swell at 8 seconds, but with moderate cross-onshore wind, it’s messy. Strong energy at 782, but not for paddle surfing. Might be a kite day, but not for a surfboard.
September starts flat. The 2nd has clean cross-off wind, but the swell is down to 2ft. The 5th of September finishes with a 2ft swell and clean wind, but it’s a total fade-out.
Bottom line: Pobbles Beach has nothing on offer for the whole 16 days. This is an inconsistent spot, and this is one of those long, quiet runs. Forecasts can always change, but right now, don’t bother.
Rusty.

Information about the Pobbles Beach Surf forecast

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. 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.
