Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pobbles Beach has got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow period ahead.
We’re kickin’ off from Saturday the 4th of July, and honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off for any proper surf. The swell is tiny and weak, with combined wave energy figures barely gettin’ out of double digits. On Saturday morning we’ve got a weak 3ft W swell, but it’s short-period, crossed-up, and the report calls it poor. That theme sticks around for days. Even when we get glassy conditions on Wednesday the 8th morning, the swell is only 1.0ft from the west with energy at just 12 – not enough to stand up on. For the rest of that first week and into the second, it’s all undersized, crossed-up, and just not worth paddlin’ out for. There’s a solid 10-day stretch here with basically nothin’ to recommend.
Finally, things get a pulse on Friday the 17th of July afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the WSW, period at 7 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 231. That’s moderate energy, but it’s still bein’ labelled as poor surf conditions due to the moderate cross-shore wind and cross-chop. The size is gettin’ into the too-big-for-beginners range, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s the most interesting window. Then on Saturday the 18th morning, we’ve got a cleaner 3ft WSW swell with light cross-shore winds, energy at 94. That’s probably the cleanest wee window of the whole run. But it drops off again quick after that.
The one standout? I’d put my money on Sunday the 19th of July morning. We’ve got a clean 2ft SW swell with offshore winds from the NNW, light breeze, and clean conditions. The crowd factor at Pobbles Beach can be “sometimes” an issue, so you might have a few lads out, but with clean offshore wind and a small, workable wave it’s the pick of a very quiet period. Sun’s out, too.
Water temp on the 4th of July morning was recorded at 67°, a full 8° warmer than normal for the time of year – that’s very unusual, so the water’s gonna feel like a bath compared to normal.
Overall, you’re lookin’ at a long, flat gap from now until about the 17th, and then a couple of days that might offer a wave, with Sunday the 19th bein’ your best bet.
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.
