The Lowdown
Right then, I’m gonna be straight with you. The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. Pea Break is a solid reef setup for advanced surfers, and it’s about to get a lot of powerful swell, but the wind is gonna be a real pain for most of that time. The water is feeling about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first proper window of opportunity looks like Wednesday, August 5th. We’re seeing a big 15ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (10,638 in the morning), so there’s plenty of push. The morning has onshore wind, but the afternoon eases off to a light cross-onshore breeze. The quality is still marginal, but it’s the best of a rough bunch to start. It’s big, powerful stuff, so this is for the experienced crew only.
Then we get a bit of a lull with messy, windy conditions until things turn around. The real standout is Wednesday, August 12th. This is the one. We’ve got a solid 10ft to 12ft SW groundswell, still with a long 14 to 15-second period. The afternoon session is looking absolutely glassy, with a light westerly breeze and the water like a mirror. The combined energy sits at a healthy 4915. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s spot on. It’s a rare treat of clean, powerful waves at a reef break. The afternoon on Thursday, August 13th, offers a similar, glassy shot with a 10ft WSW swell, but the 12th is the pick.
Saturday afternoon, August 15th, also cleans up nicely with a glassy 7ft WSW swell, which is a bit more manageable but still a quality wave. The energy is lower (1629), but the glassy conditions make it a fun option.
The final days of the outlook, starting August 16th, see another big pulse of 15ft to 18ft WSW swell, but the wind is generally light cross or cross-on, which is okay but not the clean perfection of the 12th. It’s a promising end to the run, but less certain.
So, to wrap it up: wait for that Wednesday the 12th. The afternoon glass-off at Pea Break is the best on offer. The 13th is a solid backup. Everything else is either too windy or too big for all but the hardiest.

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.
