The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cookin' at Pea Break.
Alright, Pea Break is the only game in town for the next 16 days, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off thanks to gnarly winds and messy seas, but there’s a fantastic window of clean swell setting up for the middle of next week, and a couple of promising distant pulses right at the end of the run.
We’re starting off on shaky ground. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July are not worth your time. The morning of the 24th has a 5ft SW swell with a moderate 12-second period, but it’s killed by a nasty cross-shore wind and chop. The energy's moderate (875 energy) but the conditions are rubbish. The next few days get even worse. Sunday the 26th sees the swell jump to a brutal 15ft to 18ft (12,166 energy) with a strong, messy cross-onshore wind. That’s a no-go for anyone. Monday the 27th is still big, but the wind finally swings offshore, cleaning that 12ft SW swell (4,100 energy) up nicely. It’s powerful for sure, but the score reflects it's still a handful.
Now, Tuesday the 28th is where it gets interesting. The morning stays clean with a 10ft, 14-second SW groundswell, but the real gem is Tuesday afternoon. The wind drops to *glassy* conditions, barely a breath of air, and the swell settles to a clean 8ft, still with that lovely 14-second period (3,177 energy). That’s a beautiful, clean, powerful setup. The water’s at 66°, which is basically average for the time of year.
Wednesday and Thursday the 29th and 30th are okay, but not a patch on that Tuesday glass-off. The swell drops a bit, the cross-shore wind returns, and we lose that A+ quality.
The first weekend of August (the 1st and 2nd) is a big one. Saturday the 1st of August is a standout morning, with a clean 13ft to 15ft, 16-second SW groundswell (9,168 energy) and a light offshore wind. This is big-wave territory, experts-only stuff. The energy is strong-very strong (9,168). Sunday the 2nd gets blown out again, but the afternoon shows a rain shower and a bit of hope.
The best of the entire run, and I really mean this, is peeking through for the 7th and 8th of August. We’re talking about a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but the models are painting a beautiful picture. Friday morning the 7th of August has a clean 7ft, 17-second *very long period* SW groundswell (2,717 energy) with a light offshore breeze. That’s a juicy, long-lining groundswell. This is a reef break, so those super-long periods are perfect for it, giving you those long, peeling walls. It's a bit advanced and can be crowded here sometimes, but for that quality, it's worth it.
Then, Saturday the 8th of August looks even better. Both morning and afternoon sessions see a solid 13ft to 15ft, 11-second pulse from the W-WNW (over 5,400 energy) with clean offshore winds from the SE and SSE. This is a powerful, clean, all-day session. The wind is offshore, the swell is pumping, and while 11 seconds isn't a super-long groundswell, the energy is strong (5,426 and 6,482) and the conditions are perfect.
So, to sum it up: the next few days are best spent tuning your board. The clear winners are Tuesday afternoon, 28th of July, for that rare glass-off session on a decent 8ft swell, and Saturday morning, 8th of August for a proper, clean, powerful session. The long-range Friday and Saturday look promising, but treat that as a potential gem that needs to lock in.
Stay stoked, and don’t bother paddling out until Tuesday.
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.
