The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.

Looking at the 16-day window for Pobbles Beach, I’m not gonna lie, it’s a tough stretch. The first several days are a write-off – poor surf conditions with messy onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. The swell is all over the place, but the wind just ruins it. There’s a real dry spell from Thursday morning all the way through the following Wednesday afternoon, so about six days of nothing worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, the 7th of September. The morning session shows some promise. Swell is coming in at 7ft from the WSW, but the period is a very long 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a strong 1587, so there’s a lot of power behind it. The wind is offshore, so the face will be clean. This is for experts, though – 7ft with that long period is not for the faint of heart. It’s a bit of a standout, but it’s only a marginal call due to tide issues. The afternoon gets lumpy again.

The next real standout is on Monday, the 14th of September. Morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and offshore. The combined energy is 308 – moderate, but the conditions are right. The water temperature is 68°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual. That’s very unusual, don’t need a wetsuit for sure.

Tuesday, the 15th of September, has a glassy morning with a small 3ft swell from the west, 9-second period, zero wind. It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, the swell drops off a cliff again for the rest of the window.

Overall, the best on offer is that Monday the 7th morning for the experienced crew, and Monday the 14th morning for a cleaner, more manageable session. The crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so you might get a bit of company at Pobbles.

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.
