The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. It’s a waiting game to start, so don’t rush to the beach on Monday or Tuesday morning. The real action doesn’t kick off until later.
The first proper window is on Tuesday the 11th. We’ve got a solid 18ft swell out of the SW, proper groundswell with a 16-second period. The wave energy is massive at 15270 (moderate to strong). The wind will be offshore early, a clean cross-off from the SSW at 22 mph. For the experienced crew, the morning session looks like a beauty. By the afternoon, the swell drops a touch to 16ft but keeps that long period, though the wind swings cross-shore so it won’t be as perfect.
Now, for the real standout. Thursday the 13th morning is the one to circle. The wind goes glassy – a dead calm from the NNW at just 3 mph. There’s a 13ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, and the energy is pumping at 7878 (moderate). The conditions are set for exceptional surf for expert surfers. That’s your best shot across the whole 16 days. The water is 67°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The second week is a bit rough. From the 15th through the 19th, the wind is onshore and messy, blowing out what would be decent swell. There’s a small glimmer on Friday the 14th afternoon when it goes glassy again with an 11ft SW swell, but the energy is lower at 4862 (moderate). Then on Sunday the 23rd, we get a light breeze with an 11ft SW swell, but the period drops to 14 seconds and the energy is 4946 (moderate). It’s a “marginal” call, so don’t book the day off.
If you’re a seasoned surfer, Thursday morning the 13th at Pea Break is the day to be out there. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions until the very end of the outlook.

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.
