The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at Pea Break for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we gotta talk about the water. It's sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. Not a crazy anomaly, but you'll notice it.
The next week and a half has some real potential, but you're gonna have to be patient. The first few days are a mess. This Saturday, the 18th, is a total write-off. We've got a strong 18 ft swell from the WSW, but that 25 mph cross-onshore wind is just going to shred it. The wave energy is massive (8273), but it's all for nothing. Don't even bother.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are still marginal. The swell drops to 10 ft early Sunday, but the wind is a messy cross-shore. Monday morning might offer a slight window with an 8 ft SW swell and a light offshore from the NW, giving it a score of 3, but it's not exactly a standout.
The real action starts to build mid-week. Wednesday the 22nd is the first true highlight. The morning has a clean 10 ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore, but it's the afternoon that’s the gem. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, with a 10 ft SW swell and a 14-second period. The energy is pushing 3949. This is expert territory – 10 ft is a solid, powerful wave. It's a reef break, so the long period (14 sec) will mean more energy and better shapes, but it's also going to be a bit more challenging to paddle into. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so you might have some company for this quality.
Then we get a bit of a lull through the end of the week, with the swell dropping and the wind shifting onshore again. The real stand-out, the one you circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 26th. This is the best of the run. We're looking at an 12 ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period in the morning, and a 16-second period in the afternoon. The energy is huge – 6866 and 7009. The wind is offshore, light and clean from the SE. This is exceptional, expert-only surf. The long period will make it powerful and lined up, but it'll be breaking fast and deep. This is a day for the experienced crew.
The swell holds through Monday the 27th (10 ft, 15-second period), but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore, so it's still clean but not as perfect.
After that, the juice starts to run out. We get a big drop in size and some nasty wind. The 29th of July has a 31 mph cross-shore wind and an 8 ft swell – that's a hard pass, more of a kitesurfing setup than a surf one. The 30th of July picks up again with a 13 ft WSW swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, keeping it clean but making it a choppier experience.
The tail end of the forecast, into the first few days of August, is all small stuff, around 6 ft to 6 ft, with mostly cross-shore winds. Not a lot to get excited about.
So, if you're picking one day, it's that Sunday the 26th. The Wednesday the 22nd afternoon is a close second for that glassy perfection. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty out.

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.
