The Lowdown
Alright, let’s chew the fat on what’s coming. The long-range stuff is showing some serious size, but the wind is the real talker here. It’s a fight, and for most of the next two weeks, that onshore breeze is gonna be a pain in the arse. There are a few openings where things might line up, but you’ll need to be patient.
The first decent chance doesn’t show until the 5th of August, Wednesday morning. We’ve got a solid 4.5m (15 ft) groundswell from the WSW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The wave energy is through the roof (10240), but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be pretty choppy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 19° (66°F).
Now, the real standout looks like Wednesday afternoon on the 5th. That same big 4.5m (15 ft) WSW groundswell is still pumping, and the wind swings to a light NW onshore at 15 km/h (9 mph). The combined energy is massive (10651), and the conditions are unknown but the rating is better. This is a big, powerful reef break, and with that long period, it’s gonna be a proper, heavy swell. The crowd factor is only “sometimes” here, so you might get a few sets to yourself, but at 4.5m (15 ft), this is advanced territory, not for the faint of heart.
The next big event is Saturday the 8th. The morning shows a 6.5m (21 ft) SW groundswell with a 15-second period, and the wind is a strong cross-offshore from the SW at 45 km/h (28 mph). That’s clean, but the energy is extreme (18327). By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 7.0m (23 ft) from the SW, with a 16-second period and a massive 45869 combined energy. The wind is strong cross-shore and messy, and the forecast says it’s too big for this break. That’s more of a big-wave tow-in zone or a kite session.
After that, it’s a week of frustration. From the 9th through the 16th, the wind is almost constantly cross-onshore, from the W or WSW, ranging from 20 to 35 km/h (12 to 22 mph). The swell stays in the 3.5m to 5.5m (11 to 18 ft) range, but it’s never clean. There are a few moments on the 10th (Monday) where the wind is a clean cross-off from the S, with a 4.0m to 5.0m (13 to 16 ft) SW swell, but the score is low. The 16th of August (Sunday) has a gentle cross-onshore at 15 km/h (9 mph) with a 4.0m (13 ft) swell, but again, it’s marginal.
The second week looks like a write-off. The onshore wind just doesn’t let up, and the swell is all over the place. The 19th of August brings a near gale from the W at 50 km/h (31 mph), with a 4.5m (15 ft) cross-onshore blowout. This is a classic case of a great swell window being ruined by the wind. For the advanced crew, the Wednesday afternoon on the 5th is the clear pick, but keep your expectations in check.

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.
