The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and it’s time to look at what’s shaping up for Pea Break.
Honestly, it’s a frustrating start. For the first few days, we’ve got plenty of swell, but the wind’s got other ideas. From Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th, it’s mostly a write-off with cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The water temp is a pretty standard 64°, just about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Things finally start to look up on Monday the 14th. We’ve got a solid 12ft swell from the WSW with a decent 14-second period. The wind swings cross-offshore, and the break cleans right up. It’s still a bit of a monster, that size is pushing into advanced territory, but the combined energy is strong (around 4900). It’s not perfect, but it’s the first real chance to get wet. Tuesday the 15th is similar but a touch smaller, and still clean.
Now, the standout window is Saturday the 19th of September. The wind goes light and variable, just a light cross-shore with tiny ripples. We’ve got a proper 16ft groundswell from the WSW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is massive (over 9600). This is serious, expert-only territory, but for those who can handle it, Pea Break will be absolutely pumping. The crowd factor is a “sometimes” thing here, so expect it to get busy if word gets out.
There’s also a promising, but less certain, stretch at the very end. Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th of September show clean conditions with offshore winds and a dropping swell from 12ft down to 8ft. The morning of Saturday the 26th is especially clean with gentle offshore winds. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, there’s a massive gap of no good surf from now until the 14th. After that, the 19th is the big standout if you’re an expert, with the 25th-26th as your best bet for a slightly more manageable session.
Stay safe, and I’ll catch you down the line.
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.
