The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s cookin’ over this 16-day stretch. For Pobbles Beach, it’s a long and quiet period for the most part.
The first little flicker of surf happens on the morning of Friday, July 31st, but it’s small – 0.7m from the SW, with a short 4 second period and weak energy. Not much to get excited about. That afternoon, it cleans up a bit with a 1ft wave from the SW, glassy conditions, and moderate combined swell energy. A beginner might have some fun in the clean, windless water.
Then it goes dead again. Saturday, August 1st, brings a messy 1.3m swell with onshore wind and chop, making it a poor option. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
There’s a big gap with absolutely nothing worth mentioning after that, until Wednesday, August 5th. That’s the one to circle. A solid 3.0m groundswell, 9 second period, and monster combined swell energy of 1294. That’s strong, very strong. Glassy in the morning, clean in the afternoon, but this is for experts only – 3.0m (over 2.5m) is too big for almost everyone. Pobbles faces SW and gets exposed, so expect heavy, powerful waves. It could also be a kite surfer’s dream with that much juice. Keep in mind this is a week out, so call it promising but not locked in.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the outlook, with nothing else standing out. The break is inconsistent, so a long stretch like this isn't surprising for the area. Forecasts could flip, but for now, the only real firecracker is that Wednesday the 5th.
