The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here again, giving you the picture for Pobbles Beach in feet and Fahrenheit.
It’s a bleak stretch overall, mate. There's a tiny window of clean little waves first thing, then we get hammered with wind and slop for days on end. You'll be lookin' at a lot of junky, onshore chop with nothing to get excited about. There's a long gap of days with no real recommendations starting after that first session.
Your only real shot is Pobbles Beach on Friday, September 11th, and you gotta go in the morning. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the WSW, 9-second period, with some decent energy (314). The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 66°, which is about 5° above normal. With a northwesterly breeze at 9 mph blowin' cross-off, those waves are gonna be glassy. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it can be inconsistent and sometimes has a crowd, so don't expect to have it to yourself. For a fun little paddle on a clean day, this is the standout in the whole 16 days.
After that Friday morning, it all falls apart. Friday afternoon drops to 4ft and gets ordinary. Then from Saturday the 12th and on through the next week, we're stuck with strong SW and WSW winds making everything lumpy and cross-onshore. Swell stays tiny and messy, and the energy drops right off. Not worth paddling out.
There’s a brief tease on Saturday the 19th of September morning when the wind goes glassy with a light breeze from the ESE, but the swell is a weak 3ft from the WSW. It's surfable, but nothing special. The wind comes back up hard right after.
And the final week? Forget it. From the 22nd on, it's all rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. A 1ft swell with a 14-second period on the 23rd sounds like it could be clean, but the strong onshore wind will blow it out. It's a total mess.
Just get on it Friday morning. That's the only real highlight in this whole forecast.

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.
