The Lowdown

Alright, grab your coffee, let’s see what we’ve got for the coming weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a wait, honestly. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first couple of weeks here at Pobbles Beach. We're looking at a pretty big gap with nothing worth paddling out for until we get well into September.

For the first week and a half, it’s a real struggle. The waves are tiny, the wind is usually a mess, and what little swell there is comes from the east with a period so short it barely has any push. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100. The water temp is sitting at 68° on the 25th of August, which feels way warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 7° above average, so you might not even need a full suit.

We finally get a little something to work with around Friday the 4th of September. A glimpse of hope with a clean, 3ft swell from the WSW and light offshore winds. It’s surfable, but just barely. The energy is a weak 118. Don’t get too excited.

The real standout, and really the only one worth marking on the calendar, is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning starts clean with an 8ft swell from the WSW and a moderate 15 mph WNW wind that’s cross-offshore – that’s clean. The period is 9 seconds, giving it some decent shape for a beach break. The afternoon gets bigger with the swell staying strong at 7ft and the period lengthening to 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1,587 – that’s some serious power. Just keep in mind, at 8ft it’s getting into expert territory and the swell direction from the WSW isn’t quite the optimum SW the spot prefers, so it might be a little bit shifty. It’s a promising window, but it’s a long way out, so don't bank on it just yet.

Then, into the second week, we see another flicker of hope on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning on the 9th looks good: a clean 4ft swell from the WSW, with a 9 mph offshore breeze from the NW and a long 11-second period. The energy is a solid 446. This is a good setup for a point or reef, but at a beach break like this, that long period can make it a little hard to predict. Still, it’s the first real sign of “good surf conditions” in the whole outlook.

So here’s the deal: sit tight. The first two weeks are pretty quiet. The 5th of September is your best bet for size and punch. The 9th of September is your other shot for cleaner, well-shaped waves. Keep an eye on the forecasts as we get closer.

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.

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.
