Right, let’s talk about Pea Break. This is an advanced-level reef setup, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. It’s fairly consistent and gets a good, solid exposure to swell from the southwest, which is the direction this spot really loves.
We’ve got a run of proper, powerful, long-period groundswell coming through from the southwest. The combined swell energy is massive – in the thousands (6014) – which tells you there’s a heap of water moving around out there. On Tuesday the 7th of July, you’re looking at 12 ft of southwest swell with a 16-second period. That’s heavy, serious surf that is only for experienced surfers. The wind is light and offshore from the ESE in the morning, so the conditions should be clean and well-shaped for the crew who can handle it.
Wednesday the 8th of July is the absolute standout. The morning starts with a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon goes glassy – dead calm, with a 3 mph wind from the northwest. That, paired with an 12 ft swell from the west-southwest and a 15-second period, is about as good as it gets for a powerful reef. The energy is still towering (5241), and the surface will be like silk. The only catch is that it’s a quiet spot, which means crowds are possible, but for waves this size, most punters won't be out. This is the session to circle on your calendar.
Thursday the 9th of July is a step down. The cross-shore wind picks up, and the quality drops, though there’s still plenty of swell with energy in the 3000s. For the rest of that week and into the weekend, the wind flips between light offshore and clean cross-off, with the swell staying in that 7 ft to 8 ft range. The combined energy is still moderate to strong, in the 1000s and 2000s. Sunday the 12th of July afternoon looks particularly good again – 8 ft of southwest swell with a 17-second period and a clean cross-off breeze, giving another dose of excellent, powerful waves.
The real treat comes on Monday the 13th of July. Morning session: 12 ft of southwest swell with a 16-second period, light offshore wind from the southeast (9 mph), and the energy reading is sky-high again at 5973. That’s a proper groundswell, long-period, and it will be offering up some incredible lines at this reef. The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, nothing weird.
After that, the forecast gets messy. From around Wednesday the 15th of July, the wind turns onshore and gets strong, with gusts hitting 22 to 28 mph. The swell stays big – 13 ft to 15 ft – but it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-surfing session. The energy readings are high, but the wind will ruin the surface.
There’s a gap of a few days of poor quality there, but the run comes back to life on Saturday the 18th of July afternoon with a cleaner cross-off breeze, and then Sunday the 19th of July morning is a beauty: 8 ft of swell, glassy conditions with a 3 mph SSE wind, and the energy is still solid at 2823. Clean, long-period waves again.
The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 22nd of July, has a monster 15 ft swell and a 17-second period, but it’s blowing 22 mph onshore, so that’s a no-go. The energy numbers are absurd (11282), but you wouldn’t want to be out there on a paddle board.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are Wednesday afternoon the 8th and the morning of Monday the 13th of July. Both offer big, powerful, clean waves at an expert-level reef. The water is about average temp for this time of year. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.

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.
