The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the table for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a rocky start this Friday and Saturday with a solid WSW swell pulsing through, but the wind’s all wrong – cross-onshore and choppy. For a reef break that’s advanced only, it’s just messy. The combined energy is strong at 3109 to 4810, but no one’s gonna enjoy that. Give it a miss.
Sunday stays lumpy with the same cross-on wind, and the swell bumps up to 12ft with strong energy (4957). Still poor. Not your day.
Then things shift. Monday the 14th is the first real standout. Morning brings a clean cross-off breeze, the swell holds at 12ft from the WSW with a solid 14-second period. The combined energy cranks to 4986. This is excellent for experienced surfers – that reef will handle the long-period groundswell beautifully. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s clean. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but this one’s worth the paddle out. Water temp feels pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Tuesday the 15th morning is another beauty: 10ft from the WSW, glassy offshore wind from the ESE at just 3 mph. Combined energy is 3815. Clean conditions, but that size and period (14 seconds) make it a big-wave reef session for the well-prepared. Afternoon gets a fresh southerly cross-off, still clean but the quality drops off.
Midweek sees the swell easing, and the wind turns tricky – cross-shore or onshore through Wednesday and Thursday. The energy drops, and conditions become marginal. Not worth getting excited about.
Friday the 18th sees a new pulse: 6ft in the morning, but that 18-second period is very long. Combined energy jumps to 3020, and it’s clean under a cross-off breeze. This long-period groundswell will stand up nicely on this reef. Afternoon picks up to 8ft with 16-second period and 3724 energy. Clean again. Solid session for those who know the reef.
The next weekend, 20th and 21st, looks big but tricky. Sunday the 20th sees 12ft to 13ft from the SW with 15-second period, but it’s onshore wind. Combined energy hits 6313. That’s strong, but the wind wrecks it. Then Monday the 21st – morning has 16ft from the SW, cross-on wind and choppy, but the afternoon flips: cross-off wind, clean, and still 16ft with 14-second period. Combined energy is 8516. This is the standout of the whole run if you’re an expert. Massive, clean, and powerful. Rarely do you get that size with clean wind here. The swell direction matches the optimum SW. Expect some crowd if it’s on, but for that kind of wave, who cares.
Tuesday the 22nd stays solid: 10ft with offshore SE wind at 19 mph. Fresh offshore and clean. That’s another excellent window for the experienced crew.
After that, the swell backs down into the 7-8ft range through the end of the month, with clean cross-off winds but nothing that hits the highs of that 21st. Still fun for the keen.
Overall, the first few days are a write-off, but from Monday the 14th onwards there are windows. The absolute best on offer is Monday afternoon the 21st – huge, clean, and powerful. Tuesday the 22nd morning is a close second.
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.
