Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk surf for this stretch. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly a flat spell. From the 6th to the 16th of July, you’re looking at tiny waves and a whole lot of waiting. The water temperature is about 67°F, which is roughly 8°F warmer than usual – real unusual, but with nothing to ride, it’s just a warm bath. There are some glassy mornings like Wednesday the 8th and Saturday the 11th, but the swell is barely 1ft to 1ft. The wave energy is low, basically weak numbers.
Then it starts to turn around. Friday the 17th of July is where we get our first real shot: Pobbles Beach (beginner-friendly, but it’s an inconsistent spot). We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WSW, and Friday morning is glassy and clean – that’s the ticket. The combined energy climbs to 302 (moderate energy). The period is around 8 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell, but it’s solid enough. Saturday the 18th of July keeps it rolling: 6ft on Saturday morning and 6ft on Saturday afternoon, both out of the WSW. Saturday afternoon is the better call with cross-off wind and clean waves, plus energy at 356.
For the experienced crew, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July bring bigger numbers. 8ft and 7ft swell from the WSW, with combined energy over 700 and 600 – that’s strong. Tuesday the 21st afternoon turns glassy, and the period is still short at 8 seconds, so it could be a bit lumpy, but for experts, that’s a window. Beginners, stay out of that size.
Overall, the best bets are Friday the 17th morning and Saturday the 18th afternoon. The long-range stuff later in the second week is a bit more of a gamble, but it’s worth watching. Get in while you can.
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.
