The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles. Let's look at the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, and honestly, we’ve got a lot of days where you’d be better off on land. The water is a warm 67° right now, which is a very unusual 6° warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’re looking at Pobbles Beach. The swell direction that works best here is from the SW.
The first good call isn’t until later in the run. We’ve got a long dry spell. From Friday the 4th through Wednesday the 16th, it’s mostly nothing good. Yeah, there’s some size here and there, but the wind is all over the place—mostly cross or onshore—killing the vibe. You’ll see some decent-sized waves mid-week around Monday the 7th, with chest to head-high WSW swell (7ft), but the wind is howling from the SW at 19 mph, turning it into a lumpy, wind-chopped mess. The wave energy is massive, but the quality is zero. Not worth getting wet.
Things finally clean up on Thursday the 17th of September. Now we’re talking. The morning starts with a light offshore breeze from the NNE, grooming a head-high WSW swell (5ft). That’s a decent wave with clean conditions. Then the afternoon becomes the absolute standout of the entire forecast. You get a consistent 5ft swell from the WSW, with a good 10-second period pushing real energy into the lineup. The wind flips to a clean offshore from the north, making for some absolutely glassy, peeling lines. This is the session to circle on your calendar if you can get out of work.
The next day, Friday the 18th, keeps the momentum going. Another morning with a clean offshore breeze (N at 6 mph) and a punchy 6ft W swell rattling the coast. It’ll be a bit more powerful and hollow, good for a few proper turns.
After that, it fades off again into the weekend with smaller, weaker waves.
So, the plan is simple: tough out the long wait and the howling winds, then be ready to go hard on Thursday the 17th. That afternoon is your best bet.
Rusty.
