Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pobbles Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table. Grab a coffee, because for the next two weeks, it’s looking mighty quiet.
Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is one long, flat stretch. The first row says it all: "poor surf conditions" across every single check. We’re talking about Pobbles Beach, and the combined swell energy barely sneaks into double digits – just 37 for the first Tuesday morning – that’s weak. The highest I see is a mere 51, and that’s still weak. Nothing gets above 3 ft, and most of the time it’s sitting at 0.3 ft or 1 ft. It’s a beginner break, and even a beginner would be bored.
There’s a bit of a tease on Wednesday the 8th with some glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is a flat 1 ft with a period of 8 seconds. Then again, on Saturday the 22nd, the wind turns clean and cross-off, but it’s still just 0.3 ft with a 16-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, but there’s no size to push it.
For a spot that’s labelled "inconsistent", this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Pobbles Beach is just having a proper nap. The water temperature is running much warmer than normal for July, sitting at 67°, but with no waves to enjoy, that’s just a footnote.
If you’re desperate to get wet, you’d be better off looking for a lake or a river mouth. This setup – small, weak swell and cross-shore wind – looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But from a surf perspective, it’s a skip.
Keep an eye on the charts, things can flip. But right now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.

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.
