The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Pea Break has in store for us over the coming weeks. This is a reef setup, and it's advanced territory, so you need to know what you're doing out there, especially when it starts pumping.
Right off the bat, things are a bit grim. The first few days are a write-off – Wednesday and Thursday are blown out with strong onshore winds and messy conditions. Friday and Saturday aren't much better, with lumpy cross-shore winds and poor surf quality. We're looking at a rough start with no real opportunity to get wet until Sunday the 6th.
Now, the first chance of some decent waves arrives Sunday morning, September 6th. We've got a solid 15ft swell from the SW with a period of 13 seconds pushing in. It's still a bit of a handful, way too big for beginners, but the wind finally swings cross-offshore from the S, cleaning things up nicely. The wave energy is strong, hitting 7057, but it's still a marginal call due to tide.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Monday, September 7th. This is the pick of the first week. The morning session is looking exceptional for you experts. We've got 12ft of SW groundswell, but the magic is in the period – a very long 16 seconds. That's proper energy, and it's backed by a light offshore breeze from the SSE. The forecast even says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers". This is clean, powerful, and lined-up. The crowd factor here is "sometimes", so you might have company, but for waves like these, it's worth it. The combined energy is massive at 6731.
After that, the week gets a bit mixed. Tuesday the 8th is still clean with an 12ft, 16-second WSW swell, but the winds become less favorable. The following days, Wednesday and Thursday, drop off significantly in size as the swell fades to 6-10ft, and we lose the good wind.
We then hit another rough patch from Thursday afternoon through to the following weekend. Friday the 11th is a complete washout with near-gale-force winds – that's kite-surfing territory, not for a paddle board.
But hold on, because the second week finishes with a bang. The absolute best of the entire 16-day window looks to be Sunday, September 13th. The morning is going to be pure gold. The wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions – with a clean 15ft swell from the WSW, a 15-second period, and exceptional surf conditions forecast for experts. The wave energy is through the roof at 8889. This is as good as it gets at Pea Break. The afternoon on Sunday is also exceptional, with a light offshore breeze and the energy even higher at 9487. Mark your calendar for this one.
Monday the 14th is still a great option with clean 12ft waves and a morning offshore breeze, a solid follow-up to the Sunday session. But things go downhill again from Tuesday the 15th as the winds turn onshore and chop things up, with only marginal or poor conditions through the rest of the forecast period.
So, to wrap it up: suffer through the first few days. Get excited for Monday, September 7th for the long-period groundswell and clean morning. But the absolute standout session, the one you don't miss, is Sunday, September 13th glassy morning. That's the one.
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.
