The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pobbles Beach has got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the outlook is a bit of a tough one. The first few days are pretty average, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The best bet in the whole 16-day window is going to be the Monday morning session, a week from now on the 7th of September. That’s where the real energy shows up.
For the early part of the week, Saturday the 6th is a write-off. Small, weak swell with a combined energy of just 53, and a cross-onshore breeze turning it into a choppy mess. Sunday the 7th is where things get interesting. Monday morning, the 7th, we see a solid spike in energy. The combined energy hits 1352, which is a strong pulse of groundswell from the WSW. The swell is 1.6m (about 5 ft) with a very long period of 14 seconds, and light offshore winds from the NW. That’s clean. The long period means it’ll be a bit more walled up, but for a spot like Pobbles, with a bit of shelter, it should offer some decent shape. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Monday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and gets nasty, so don’t sleep on that morning window. Tuesday the 8th has some size, 1.9m (about 6 ft) in the morning, but the period drops to 8 seconds. The combined energy is 494, which is moderate. The wind is clean from the WNW, so it’s rideable, but a bit weak. The rest of the first week is a mix of small, weak, and onshore conditions. The combined energy stays under 250, so it’s mostly just a bit of a bump.
The weekend of the 13th and 14th is pretty poor. The 15th of September, a Tuesday, shows a bit of promise. The morning has a 1.5m (about 5 ft) swell with a 5-second period, which is short and weak, but the wind is offshore from the NNW, making it clean. The combined energy is only 169, so it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s a surfable option if you’re desperate. The afternoon of the 15th gets a bit bigger at 2.1m (about 7 ft), but the wind is cross-off, and it’s a bit of a messy margin.
The end of the run, around the 19th of September, has a fun little morning. Saturday the 19th, the wind is glassy, offshore from the NNE, with a small 0.7m (about 2 ft) swell from the WSW. The period is 10 seconds, which is a nice, clean, small wave. The combined energy is 108, so it’s weak, but glassy conditions are a treat. The rest of the second week is just small and weak, with the 20th and 21st being completely blown out or tiny.
So, to sum it up, the standout is Monday morning, the 7th of September. That’s the one to circle. The 1.6m (5 ft) WSW groundswell with that 14-second period and clean offshore wind will be the best on offer. The rest of the period is a lot of waiting and checking the forecast. If you miss that Monday, the glassy morning on the 19th is a nice alternative for a small-wave cruiser.
Stay salty, folks.
Rusty.
