G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a good look at what’s cooking for Pobbles Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, this stretch is shaping up as a long, flat spell with nothing much to get excited about. The forecast is basically a washout for paddle surfing from now right through until the end of the first week of July. There’s a solid gap with no real surf on offer until things might stir up around Sunday the 19th, but even that comes with a catch. Early on, the waves are tiny, weak, and messy, with combined swell energy barely hitting 74 (on the morning of Sunday 5th) and dropping into the single digits later. That’s some of the weakest energy you’ll see.

Pobbles Beach is an inconsistent, fairly exposed beginner’s break, but the swell direction is mainly coming from the W or WSW, and the optimum is SW, so there’s a bit of a mismatch. The water temp on that first Sunday morning was 67°F with a massive anomaly of 9°F warmer than normal—that’s very unusual for the time of year, but doesn’t help the waves.

For the first week and a bit, expect tiny, poor conditions: 1.0ft to 3ft, short-period slop around 5–9 seconds, mostly cross-shore winds, and a lot of chop. There is a brief moment on Thursday afternoon the 9th and Friday afternoon the 10th when light offshores and clean lines appear, but the swell is only 1.0–2ft—really only a longboard or a micro-skim session.

The only real standout in the whole 16-day window comes much later. On Sunday the 19th of July, the swell builds—5ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, with combined energy jumping to 108 then 366—that is moderate to strong wave energy. But here’s the problem: it’s a short-period swell (5–7 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore, so it will be choppy and junky. Monday the 20th looks a bit cleaner, with cross-offshore winds and 5ft swell, period at 9 seconds, and energy at 374, but the swell is over 5ft, so it’s starting to get too much for beginners. By then, Pobbles Beach with a beachy setup and cross-off winds might be more interesting for kite surfers than for paddle surfing. Truth is, there’s not one single day I’d call a top-notch surf session here—just a few that might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but don’t hold your breath.

Signing off — 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.

Pobbles Beach is 13 km (8 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
