The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
We’ve got a serious run of swell hittin’ Pea Break over the next couple of weeks, but honestly, the wind is gonna be the main character for most of it. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and with the size we’re lookin’ at, it’s not somewhere to be learnin’. The water temp’s sittin’ around 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothin’ to write home about.
The window kicks off on Tuesday the 1st, but it’s rough. We’ve got 8ft of SW groundswell with 15-second periods, so there’s plenty of energy in the water, but that cross-swell wind is gonna make it choppy and messy. Wednesday the 2nd gets bigger, 12ft from the SW, and the afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still pretty average. Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off if you’re after clean waves.
Thursday the 3rd is a complete no-go with strong winds makin’ a mess, and Friday the 4th is where things start to get interesting. Friday afternoon we’ve got 16ft of swell from the WSW, a long 15-second period, and a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy is massive, and while it’s got a slight cross-chop, the size and power are gonna be on. This is the first real standout – it’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s gonna be a proper session for those who can handle it.
Saturday the 5th goes sideways again, a near gale blows through, so we’re sittin’ that one out. Sunday the 6th looks cleaner, with 16ft from the WSW and a 16-second period on the afternoon, and a cross-shore breeze. That’s another big day, but that long period means it’ll be linin’ up nicely on this reef.
The absolute gem of the whole outlook lands on Tuesday the 8th. The morning is glassy, not a breath of wind, with 13ft of 16-second SW groundswell. That’s exceptional, and the kind of mornin’ you don’t often see. For expert surfers, this is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, it’s a slow decline. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see the swell drop, and the wind turns onshore and lumpy. There’s a brief glimmer on Friday the 11th in the afternoon, with 8ft from the WSW and a light cross-off breeze makin’ things clean, but it’s smaller. Then we hit a bit of a flat patch over the 12th and 13th, with messy onshore winds ruinin’ the 10ft of swell that tries to show up.
Monday the 14th is nothin’ special, and then Tuesday the 15th brings a clean, smaller window in the morning – 7ft from the WSW with a light cross-off breeze from the ENE. It’s not huge, but for an experienced surfer lookin’ for a clean, fun session, it’s there. Wednesday the 16th is a fresh breeze with clean 10ft waves, but it’s not the standout.
If you’re an expert and you can handle big, powerful reef waves, Friday the 4th afternoon and Sunday the 6th afternoon are your big-swell days. But that Tuesday the 8th morning, glassy and perfect – that’s the one you wait for. There are days in between with nothin’ on offer, and the second week is more about pickin’ your moment through wind and fadin’ swell.
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.
