The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. We’ve got a hell of a 16 days coming up. A massive SW groundswell with a 16-second period is hitting Pea Break (reef) Tuesday morning, running 18 feet with a combined energy of 15,270 – that’s serious diesel. The water’s running about 67°, which is a touch warmer than usual, 3° above the norm. That first session is all for the advanced crew – over 8 feet, big, and with a cross-off SSW breeze at 19 mph, it’s clean. This is the standout, no question. Crowds are possible.
Tuesday afternoon drops to 16 feet, still SW, but the wind’s cross and lumpy – morning wins.
Wednesday the 12th backs off to 13 feet, period 14-15 seconds, gentle cross-shore wind. Surfable but not the top.
Thursday the 13th sees 11-13 feet, SW swell, with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph – cleanish. Afternoon picks up a light SW cross-shore. Fine.
Friday the 14th afternoon is a gem. Swell’s 10 feet (SW, 15 seconds), but the wind goes glass at 3 mph from the west. Perfect conditions. That’s a sneaky ripper for the experienced.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th turn messy – northerly winds, choppy, swell around 8-10 feet. Not worth it.
Monday the 17th: 11 feet, WSW, 17-second period, moderate cross-shore. Surfable but workin’.
Tuesday the 18th: onshore NW at 16-19 mph, swell 10 feet – blown out.
Wednesday the 19th: a big pulse – 18 feet (WSW, 16 seconds) but with a 28 mph cross-on gale. Stay on land.
Here’s the second standout: Thursday the 20th. Swell 11 feet, SW, 15 seconds, with a light SSE cross-off breeze in the morning and gentle southerly cross-off in the afternoon. Clean, powerful, excellent conditions.
Friday the 21st through Saturday the 22nd drop to 7-8 feet, mostly clean on Saturday afternoon with a light SSW cross-off. Good for a quiet paddle.
Sunday the 23rd brings a monster groundswell – 11 feet, WSW, 19-second period. That’s a 62-second wait between sets! Combined energy is 9,342. Morning could be magic with a light NW onshore barely blowing, but the afternoon turns onshore again. On a reef, that long-period swell could link up beautifully.
Monday the 24th onwards: wind howling near gale from the NNW and W – 31-37 mph. Swells around 10 feet but blown to hell. Final days the 26th are a sad, lumpy fade.
Best on offer: Tuesday 11th morning for the big clean power (advanced only). And Thursday 20th for the clean, solid, manageable swell. Don’t sleep on those.
Rusty.

Information about the Pea Break Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pea Break provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pea Break can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pea Break surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Pea Break) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Pea Break 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.
Pea Break is 72 km (45 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
