The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
The water’s sitting at about 66°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.
First real action is on Wednesday, August 26th. We’re looking at a serious 16ft swell out of the WSW with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s a ton of energy, and the combined energy is pumping at (14897). For an advanced reef break like Pea Break, a long-period groundswell is going to produce powerful, well-shaped waves – just be ready for some big lulls between sets. The wind is a cross-off from the South at moderate speed, so the surface will be clean. This is your standout session – a heavy, glassy day for the experienced crew.
Thursday the 27th drops to a 13ft swell with a 15-second period. The wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the SSW. The combined energy is still strong at (6483), but it’s not as pristine. Still a solid option if Wednesday was too big.
Friday the 28th brings a much friendlier 8ft swell from the SW, period at 12 seconds. Light winds from the SSE at 9 mph make it clean and glassy. Perfect for a smaller, more relaxed session for those who know the reef.
Saturday the 29th has a clean morning with a 7ft swell at a very long 16-second period and light cross-off winds from the NE. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 10ft with an 18-second period, but the wind goes onshore from the WNW, so the morning is your window.
From Sunday, August 30th through Monday, September 7th, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The swell stays solid – between 8ft and 12ft – but the wind is consistently cross-onshore, making the waves choppy and lumpy. Not worth paddling out.
Then on Tuesday, September 8th, we get one last clean window. A 6ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period and light cross-off winds from the SSE. The combined energy is moderate at (1379), but the conditions are clean. A nice little session for the experienced surfer to sneak in.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 26th is the big one. Heavy, clean, and powerful. If that’s too much, Friday the 28th morning or Tuesday the 8th of September are your smaller, cleaner bets. Ignore everything in between.
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.
