The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right, I’ll be straight with you – this is a grim stretch for Pobbles Beach (beginner, inconsistent, fairly exposed to swell, optimum direction from SW). For the next 13 days, it’s pretty much flat or junk. We’re looking at a long, boring gap from now right through to Monday the 27th of July. Tiny waves – ankle to knee high at best – with messy wind, cross-chop, and absolutely no energy. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits most days, sitting around 2 to 39 for that whole first week and a half. It’s just not going to happen.
Then, on the morning of Monday the 27th, we finally see a pulse. The swell bumps to 2 ft from the WSW, period around 10 seconds. But it’s light rain and a gentle cross-offshore breeze, and the energy is moderate (162). It’s surfable but ordinary. The real standout, and honestly the only window worth paddling for, comes Monday afternoon. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm. Swell hits 5 ft from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 287. Conditions are clean, glassy, and actually good. That’s your best shot of the whole 16 days.
After that, it fades back down to nothing. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are back to poor surf with small, weak waves and windy conditions. Nothing else to get excited about.
So, to be blunt: if you can, sit on your hands until the afternoon of Monday the 27th. That glassy window with chest-to-shoulder-high WSW swell is the only one that’s worth the sand in your wetsuit. It’ll be small and inconsistent for beginners but that afternoon glass makes it clean and user-friendly. Expect crowds possible on that Monday afternoon as everyone who’s been waiting will be out.
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.
