The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Pea Break has in store. This is a solid reef setup for those who know what they're doing, and we've got a proper window of action coming our way.
The opening call is for Thursday, 13 August, and it kicks off with a bang. We're looking at a powerful 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 16-second period. The combined swell energy is pumping at (7979), and it's glassy with a slight air from the NNE. This is exceptional surf for experts, but don't kid yourself—at 13ft, this is for experienced crew only. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Thursday afternoon holds the same size swell at 13ft, but the wind swings onshore from the SW. It gets a bit cross, so the quality drops off. Still big, but not as clean.
Friday morning, 14 August, the swell eases a touch to 12ft from the SW, period still a solid 16 seconds (5535 energy). The wind is cross from the NE, and the conditions are marginal. Friday afternoon cleans right up though. Glassy conditions from the NW with a 10ft SW swell and a 15-second period (4235). That's an excellent window for experienced surfers.
Saturday, 15 August sees the swell direction shift to WSW at 8ft, but a strong NNE wind at 25 km/h makes a mess of it. The following days from Sunday through Wednesday next week get blown out by strong to near-gale winds, despite the surf staying big—13ft to 16ft. That's a kite-surfing setup more than a paddling one.
The real standout of this whole outlook is actually a couple of sessions later. After a rough patch, Monday afternoon, 24 August offers a real treat. The swell drops to a manageable 4ft, but it’s a WSW groundswell with a very long 20-second period. The combined swell energy is (1878) and the wind is glassy. It’s clean, it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and the long period will make for some beautiful, walled-up lines on this reef. The crowd factor is a "sometimes" here, so you might have a few friends out, but on a Monday it should be manageable.
Tuesday, 25 August, the size jumps back up to 13ft WSW, with cross-on winds. There's a lot of energy (9292), but it's not as clean. The rest of the week into the 28th sees a mix of marginal and poor conditions as the trade winds pick up again.
So, the pick of the fortnight is Friday afternoon, 14 August and the real hidden gem is Monday afternoon, 24 August. Keep your eye on the glassy windows.
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.
