Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a solid run of surf on the horizon at Pea Break, a real deep-water reef set-up that dishes out proper waves for the advanced crew.

We kick off this Sunday the 6th with a solid pulse. There's a big 13ft SW swell rolling in with a 12-second period, packing a heap of energy (4977). The wind is a fresh offshore from the SSE, so it's going to be clean. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a touch on the balmy side. This is serious, powerful surf, well over 8ft, so it's strictly for the experts only. It's a little raw, but the potential is there.

Moving into Monday the 7th, the swell drops back a touch to 12ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. This is proper groundswell energy. The early morning has a gentle offshore breeze from the SE, making for glassy conditions. This is a standout moment. The wave quality for experienced surfers is excellent. That long period will mean long lulls between sets, but the waves that come through will be deep and powerful, perfect for the reef.

Tuesday the 8th is another top contender. The morning holds a 13ft WSW swell with a long 16-second period, and the energy is massive (7539). The wind is a cross-offshore from the ESE, keeping things clean. The standout here is the Tuesday afternoon session. The swell drops to 12ft, but the wind eases to a light breeze from the East, making conditions exceptional for expert surfers. The crowd factor is there as it's a known spot, but on a Tuesday, you might just get a few sets to yourself.

The swell starts to back off a bit through Wednesday and Thursday, dropping from 10ft down to 7ft, but the period stays long. The wind shifts around, becoming more cross-shore and then onshore, so the quality drops. By Friday the 11th, the swell is down to 4ft, the wind is onshore, and the conditions turn poor. There's a bit of a lull here.

We see a bit of a pulse return on the 13th and 15th with some clean 12ft and 8ft SW swells under cross-offshore winds, but the consistency is just not as good as that first week.

Then things get wild. From the 17th of September, we get a massive, angry swell. We're looking at 20ft waves from the west, with a short period and absolutely howling onshore winds. The energy numbers are through the roof (19200, 28239). This is pure chaos. For a reef break like Pea Break, this is going to be a washing machine. It's not for paddle surfing; it's for the extreme tow-in crew or maybe kite surfers who want to get absolutely shredded. It's a no-go zone for the rest of us.

So, the best of the best is the Sunday the 6th morning session for the raw power, and the Monday the 7th morning for the glassy perfection. The Tuesday afternoon is also a serious highlight. Get out there and get some.

Rusty.
