Pobbles Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, point break. Grab a seat Pobbles Beach crew, 'cause this one's a tough read. I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at these charts for Pobbles and, well, it's quiet. Real quiet. The water's a balmy 69°, which is a solid 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there, but that's about the only thing going for us.

The next two weeks are looking like a bust. There's a long stretch coming up with almost nothing worth paddling for. From early Thursday right through to the evening of Monday the 12th of August, the energy is just dribbling in – we're talking combined swell energy barely breaking double digits, mostly in that weak 8 to 18 range. It's small, messy, and the wind is all over the place.

We do see a little spike around Wednesday the 14th, where the combined energy climbs to 103 and then 153, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore and the conditions are choppy. Not clean, not good. It's the same story through to the end of the run – even when the swell inches up to 4 ft on the morning of the 15th (185 energy), the "poor surf conditions" tag keeps popping up. The wind just won't play ball. There's a brief moment on the morning of the 17th where the wind goes glassy and the swell is 3 ft, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the energy is still only 72 – weak and fat.

Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there's no standout day. The combined energy is all over the place but the quality is consistently poor. If you're desperate, the cleanest windows might be the morning of the 10th of August (though tiny at 1 ft) or the glassy morning of the 17th, but don't expect anything memorable. Even the bigger pushes on the 15th and beyond are ruined by wind. For the most part, this is looking more like a kite session, if anything, given the cross-on breezes. Hang tight, folks. Things can change, but this stretch looks like a write-off.
