The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – Pobbles Beach is looking flat and ugly for the next two weeks. The surf quality is mostly poor, with only a tiny window of marginal conditions right at the end.
Right now, Saturday afternoon the 1st of August, we’ve got a weak 1ft WSW swell, combined energy at 37, and a cross wind at 12 mph making for poor surf. Water temp is 67°, which is 6° warmer than usual – that’s a big anomaly. Sunday the 2nd goes glassy in the afternoon with a light NE breeze, but the swell drops to 1ft and energy is just 20 – not worth it. Monday the 3rd nudges up to 3ft WSW swell (energy 94), but it’s still poor with cross-onshore winds and chop. Through the rest of the first week and into the second, the swell stays small, winds stay messy, and the surf stays poor.
Come Wednesday the 12th, we see a little bump to 3ft WSW swell with energy at 116, but still poor. Thursday the 13th is similar. Friday the 14th brings a clean cross-off wind with a 4ft WSW swell (energy 128), but it’s still poor. The only real highlight is Sunday the 16th of August – morning brings 6ft W swell with a 7-second period and energy at 295. Light cross-shore wind, some small ripples. That’s the first time the forecast even gets to marginal. That afternoon jumps to 6ft WSW swell and energy of 405, but the wind turns cross-on and it’s choppy again – poor conditions.
No real standout here. Pobbles Beach is inconsistent, and this forecast shows it. The best you’ll get is Sunday the 16th morning – clean enough and the biggest swell of the run, but still only marginal. Beginners beware: that 6ft to 6ft swell is too much for a beginner spot. It’s a long wait for little reward.
Stay patient, keep an eye on it – forecasts can turn around. Rusty.

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.
