The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Pobbles Beach in feet and all that.
Right now, we’ve got a long dry spell coming up. No real surf to talk about from the get-go all the way through to the morning of Monday, September 7th. The water temp is a balmy 67°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The first real chance for a wave comes on Monday morning, September 7th. We’re looking at a groundswell from the WSW running about 6ft, with a long period of 14 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (1472) and with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, the surface should be glassy. For a spot that’s known to be inconsistent, this is a proper little window. That long period means the waves will have some shape and power, with longer gaps between sets making it easier to get out the back. It’s a bit off the ideal swell direction, but it’s the best we’ve got. 6ft is a bit much for beginners, though.
That Monday morning is your standout. After that, the wind goes bad in the afternoon and the quality drops. You get a few other mornings with clean offshore wind, like Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, but the swell is smaller and the period drops, so the waves lose their juice. After that, it’s a mess of strong winds and poor conditions.
The second week is a bust. The only thing that shows up is on Monday the 21st with a 8ft swell, but it’s short-period (7 seconds) and chopped up by a cross-shore wind. That’s kiteboarding territory, not paddling.
So listen: your one and only real shot is Monday morning the 7th. The rest of the 16 days is mostly flat or blown out. Don’t plan your life around it.
Rusty, out.
