The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—this isn’t shaping up to be a classic run. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions and only a couple of tiny windows where it might be worth a look.

The main story for the next week is wind. For days on end, we’re stuck with strong to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes, chopping up whatever swell is around. There’s one morning that stands out as the best bet in the whole 16-day forecast. Wednesday the 16th looks promising. Early doors, we’ve got a clean 4.6ft swell rolling in from the west with a 10-second period, making for some moderate wave energy (384). The wind is a light offshore at 9 mph, so the surf will be clean. It’s not huge, and the break is described as inconsistent and best for beginners, but that offshore wind makes it the clear standout. The water is running about 65.3°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 5° above average, so that’s a nice bonus.

After that, it’s pretty grim. The swell hangs in there on Thursday the 17th with 6.2ft from the west, but a fresh onshore breeze rips it to pieces, making it a messy, lumpy affair. The combined energy is moderate (397), but the quality just isn't there. The wind stays on it through the weekend, with Saturday seeing 6.9ft from the west-southwest but a howling 22 mph cross-onshore wind. Anything over 5ft is already getting too big for beginners, and with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Likely better suited for kites than paddles.

We then hit a real flat spell. The swell drops right off from Monday the 21st, with heights under 3ft and combined energy falling into the weak or low-moderate range for several days. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 20th where the wind goes glassy and we get a tiny 3ft west-southwest swell, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary” and the energy is low (129). It’s surfable, but just. The wind comes back up quickly and it’s over.

Looking into the second week, there’s nothing to get excited about. Small, weak swells, mostly poor wind. The only slight flicker is Thursday the 24th afternoon, with a 4.3ft west swell and a clean 16 mph offshore breeze from the north. That sounds good, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the energy is only 90, so it’s weak and won’t have much push. It might give you a few closeouts.

Overall, it’s a pretty blank run. If you're desperate, Wednesday the 16th morning is the one. Get on it early and enjoy that glassy, warm water while it lasts. Forecasts can change, but right now, the horizon looks quiet.

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.
