The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Pea Break.
Don’t get too hyped for the beginning of the week. Wednesday the 16th is a little teaser with a clean 1.5m SW swell, glassy conditions, water temp about average for the season at 64°, and wave energy at 1079. It’s a good start for the advanced surfer. Then Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are total washouts with strong onshore and cross-shore winds blowing out the 1.3m to 1.6m swell.
Saturday the 19th is a straight-up monster. A 7.5m W swell with near gale-force winds – energy reading is off the charts at 20809. This spot can’t handle that. It’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle session.
The first real standout is Sunday morning the 20th. A clean 2.5m WSW groundswell, 12-second period, light cross-off breeze, and solid energy at 2148. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle.
Looking into the next week, Thursday the 24th morning serves up another clean one for the advanced crew with a 2.1m SW swell and cross-off wind. But the absolute gem looks like Friday the 25th. A massive 4.5m WSW groundswell with an incredible 19-second period, offshore wind, and energy at 13850. This is a heavy, powerful, clean day, but strictly for experts – at over 2.5m, it’s too meaty for the average surfer. Expect crowds, as it sometimes gets busy here.
There are quiet gaps, like the blown-out start, but the second week offers consistent action. The 27th September Sunday morning also looks prime with a 3.5m SW swell and offshore wind. The second week is where the real juice is, but it’s all for the experienced and expert crowd.
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.
