The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Pobbles Beach in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, the start of this period is a total washout. For the next week or so, the surf is weak, the wind is all over the place, and there’s hardly anything worth getting wet for. Swell runs from about 1ft to 6ft, but it’s short-period junk with cross and cross-off winds making it lumpy and messy. Nothing rideable for a surfer who cares about quality.
Finally, on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, we get a little break. The swell is a clean 4ft from the WSW with a period stretching to 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – that’s a total treat. Combined wave energy hits 207, which is moderate. It’s a very short-lived window though, as the wind turns onshore and trashes it by the afternoon. Still, this is the highlight of the early part of the run.
But the real standout – the one to circle on your calendar – lands on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. We’re looking at a big 10ft swell from the WSW with a 9 second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1469 (very strong). This is for experts only – way too big for beginners. The wind is cross-shore, so expect some chop, but if you’ve got the guts, this is the best swell of the whole 16 days. By afternoon, the wind cranks onshore and it’s game over.
After that, the 8th and 9th of August bring cleaner offshore winds, but the swell drops back under 4ft and the energy fades quickly. Water temperature is about average for the season. Crowds might show up on the better windows, especially that glassy Sunday morning.
There are big gaps between any decent surf here, so keep your expectations low. The 7th of August morning is your only real shot at something special, and it’s strictly for the experienced crew.
Rusty.
