Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s a pretty flat stretch ahead for Pobbles Beach. We’re looking at a solid run of days with hardly anything to get excited about, so if you’re itching for a paddle, you might want to find a rockpool.
Right now, we’ve got a weak little 1 ft swell out of the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the W at 6 mph. The combined wave energy is a measly 37 – that’s barely a ripple. Tuesday afternoon stays just as small, with the same 1 ft, but the wind picks up to a moderate 12 mph cross-shore, ruffling the surface.
Wednesday morning, the 8th, is even smaller at 1.0 ft from the W, with a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s all poor out there.
Now, Thursday morning the 9th *looks* promising because we get glassy conditions – a calm, clean surface – but the swell is only 1.0 ft with a 10-second period. It’s just not enough to push you around. That glassy window is a tease.
Friday the 10th offers our best chance in this whole outlook. The morning sees a 2 ft swell out of the W, period at 9 seconds, and a light cross-onshore. But the afternoon is the pick: a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph keeps the surface tidy, with the same 2 ft swell. Energy is 40 – still weak, but the cleanest combo we’ll see for a while.
After that, it goes downhill fast. Saturday and Sunday, we’re back to 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft slop. There’s a very long-period groundswell coming in on Sunday the 12th – 0.3 ft from the SW with a period of 16 seconds – but that’s so small it’s barely measurable, and the long period will make it even more inconsistent at a beach break like Pobbles. Glassy conditions that afternoon won’t help.
We get a brief bump around Thursday the 16th, with a 4 ft easterly swell, period of just 4 seconds. That windswell is weak and choppy, with a cross-onshore breeze at 6 mph. It’s not surfable in a fun way.
The rest of the run through to the 22nd is a graveyard of tiny, poor surf. We get a few glassy mornings again on the 18th and 19th, but the swell is 0.7 ft to 2 ft – all too small to ride. Combined energy stays below 30 most days.
Honestly, the only real standout here is Friday afternoon, the 10th of July. It’s clean, and the swell is just about big enough for a longboard or a foamie. But don’t expect much.
This kind of blank run isn’t unusual for the area – sometimes it just lies down. Forecasts can change, but right now, we’re looking at very little to report.
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.
