The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The first part of this window is a write-off, plain and simple. We’ve got a big, powerful groundswell rolling in, but it’s coming with a ton of wind, and it’s just too raw for Pea Break. We’re looking at a few days of nothing but blown-out, lumpy conditions from Thursday the 6th through the weekend. The swell is just too big and the wind is too strong to make anything of it. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. We’re talking near-gale cross-shore winds and waves pushing 21ft to 23ft on Saturday the 8th. That’s not surfable, that’s a survival mission.
The energy is through the roof, too, with readings around 25,589 on Saturday afternoon, which is just insane. It’s all just power and no shape.
Things start to settle down a bit on Monday the 10th. The swell drops to a more manageable 23ft, but it’s still big and the wind is still an issue. There’s a window on Monday morning with a cross-off breeze, but the tide and conditions are still iffy. The real light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Tuesday the 11th. The wind goes cross-off and the surf cleans up, with 18ft of SW groundswell at 16 seconds. It’s still a heavy wave, but it’s got some order to it. This is for the experienced crew only.
Then, we get to the standout. Wednesday the 13th of August. The swell drops to a much more manageable 15ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds. The wind goes completely glassy in the morning. That’s the one. That’s the window where Pea Break (Kauai) will turn on. It’s a reef, so that long-period swell will be holding up nicely, and with no wind, it’ll be as perfect as it gets. The energy is still strong at 10,795, but it’s not the raw, violent power we saw earlier. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The crowd factor is a bit of a concern, as it can get busy, but for a wave like that, it's worth it.
After that, the swell starts to fade a little into the second week. We’ve got more clean, cross-off conditions on the morning of Monday the 17th, with 13ft of WSW swell, and again on the morning of Tuesday the 18th, with 11.5ft and a light offshore. These are still good waves, but they’re a step down from that Wednesday highlight. The window gets sketchy again towards the end with more wind and storms, so don’t sleep on that perfect session.
So, the plan is simple: wait out the storm, get ready for the clean Tuesday, and don't miss that glassy Wednesday morning.

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.
