The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got one break on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and it's a serious one.

The main event is Pea Break, a reef setup that's pretty exposed to the swell. Right now, the water is sitting at about 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus.

We're looking at a big run of swell starting this Friday, the 21st of August. Friday morning kicks off with a solid 12ft swell out of the southwest, with a 14-second period. The energy is pumping hard at 4862. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at 5 km/h, so the conditions are clean. This is serious, expert-level surf. It's big, powerful, and well-shaped. Friday afternoon stays similar, with the same size and direction, wind shifting to a 15 km/h SSW cross-off, and the energy cranking up to 6142. This is the standout window. Get on it if you've got the skills.

Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd see the swell ease a touch, dropping to 10ft and 8ft, but the period is still long. The wind picks up though, with moderate to fresh breezes out of the SSW, keeping it cross-off. It's still clean, but the quality is a bit more marginal. The energy is still massive, sitting in the thousands.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th get messy. The wind swings onshore, turning the surf poor. The swell direction shifts a bit to the west-southwest, but with strong onshore winds, it's not worth paddling out. The energy is still there, but the wind is ruining the shape.

Then we get a massive spike on Wednesday the 26th of August. The swell jumps to 16ft from the WSW with an 18-second period. The energy is insane, hitting 15406. This is a true behemoth. The wind is a cross-shore, so it's not clean, but for a select few, this is a life-changing session on a big slab. Only for the absolute experts.

Thursday the 27th cleans up nicely with a 13ft WSW swell and a 15-second period, energy at 6483. The wind is a light cross-off from the south, making it clean again. This is another solid day for experienced surfers.

Friday the 28th the swell drops to 8ft, with a 12-second period and a light cross-off from the east. Clean and fun for the advanced crew.

After that, the forecast gets patchy. The swell drops off, the wind turns cross-on, and the quality dips. We see a few days of poor conditions from the 29th of August through to the 31st, with messy onshore winds. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd look average.

The real standout in the second week is Saturday the 5th of September. We get a clean 12ft SW swell, with a 13-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the east-southeast. The energy is a solid 5245. This is clean, offshore conditions for an expert-level wave. Sunday the 6th stays similar with a cross-off breeze.

So, in summary: the absolute best is this Friday morning, the 21st of August, with clean, powerful, 12ft SW swell. The second standout is the massive 16ft pulse on Wednesday the 26th, but it's a bit wind-affected. And for the second week, keep an eye on Saturday the 5th of September for a clean, offshore session. This is a break that's rarely good for beginners, but when it's on, it's a dream for the experts.

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.
