The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Pobbles Beach has got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s been a tough stretch for waves around here. The first week is a write-off. From now right through to Saturday the 24th of July, we are lookin’ at a long, flat, frustrating gap. We’re talkin’ tiny little 0.3ft to 0.7ft dribbles with combined wave energy so weak it barely registers (values as low as 1 to 18). It’s a whole lotta nuthin’. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there.
Finally, a flicker of life shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. We get a bump of swell – 4ft from the west – but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit of a fat, weak wall. The combined energy jumps to 127-137, so there’s some push behind it, but it’s still rated as poor conditions. By Sunday the 26th of July morning, the swell drops a touch to 4ft west but it cleans right up with a light offshore breeze.
Now, if you are desperate for a paddle, Sunday morning is your best shout – it’s the only session in the whole window that scores a “surfable” call. The waves will be small and soft, but it’ll be glassy with that NW breeze, so it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate at 104. Don’t expect much – this is a beginner-friendly break anyway, and on this size it'll be safe for learning. Just know it’s inconsistent here and looks a bit more interesting for the kite surfers than pure paddle surfing.
After that little blip, it’s back to the doldrums. Monday the 27th shows 3ft dropping away quickly, and from Tuesday the 28th of July through to the end of the forecast period and into the start of August, it’s flat again. Just tiny 0.7ft to 2ft slop with no energy to speak of.
Standout? There is no true standout. If I have to pick one, it’s that Sunday the 26th of July morning session – but that’s sayin’ more about how poor the rest of it is than how good that swell is. It’s a long dry spell, mates.
Rusty.
