The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Pea Break all afternoon. Let me walk you through what’s coming.

Right off the bat, there’s no surf on offer at all for today, Tuesday the 25th of August. A 12-ft swell from the west is running but it’s getting hammered by a 22 mph northwesterly, so it’s messy and blown-out. We’ll have to wait until Wednesday morning the 26th for the first proper wave.

Wednesday morning the 26th is where things kick off proper. Pea Break will see a solid 15-ft swell from the WSW with a very long 18-second period. That’s a serious groundswell with some serious energy (13,576). The wind is a cross-off SSW at 9 mph, which means clean lines. Water temp is sitting at 65°, about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – so it’s a touch balmy, but nothing crazy. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent. Given the size, over 8 ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew.

Wednesday afternoon holds similar size at 16 ft from the WSW, 17-second period, and cross-off wind, but a little breezier at 16 mph. It’ll still be clean, but that size is burly.

Thursday the 27th sees the swell drop a touch, with 13 ft in the morning and 12 ft in the afternoon, both from the SW. Wind stays cross-off from the SSE, but it’s freshening to 19 mph. The energy is still strong (6,691 in the morning), but those winds will make it a bit more challenging. Still a clean look overall.

Friday the 28th morning is a standout window. We’ve got 8 ft from the SW at 12 seconds, and the wind goes offshore from the SE at 16 mph. The report calls it excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and I agree. It’s still overhead but manageable, and clean glassy faces. Afternoon drops to 6 ft with a cross-off breeze, less interesting.

Saturday the 29th morning is another beauty. 6 ft from the SW but with a long 16-second period, offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That swell energy is moderate (2,987) but the quality will be high. The afternoon swings around to a 10-ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, but the wind goes cross from the NE at 9 mph, creating a slight cross-chop. Still surfable, but not as clean.

Sunday the 30th is a mixed bag. Morning has 10 ft from the WSW at 16 seconds, cross wind from the NE at 9 mph – gentle cross-shore, slight chop. Afternoon the wind goes onshore from the NW at 6 mph, which slops it up a bit.

Monday the 31st sees the swell dropping to 7 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon from the WSW, with moderate cross-shore winds from the SW around 12 mph. It’s marginal.

Now, looking into the first week of September – Tuesday the 1st of September morning is a real highlight. Pea Break gets 13 ft from the WSW at 14 seconds, with a gentle cross-off breeze from the SSW at 9 mph. Clean conditions, strong energy (5,414), and the report says excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the best of the whole run, in my book. Afternoon the wind turns cross and it gets a bit choppy.

Through the rest of the first week, the swell bounces between 7 ft and 10 ft, with mostly cross or cross-off winds. Nothing terrible, but nothing spectacular either. The energy stays moderate.

Then we get into the second week. Monday the 7th of September afternoon sees a very long period 18-second swell from the WSW at 13 ft, with the combined energy hitting 10,419 – that’s strong to very strong energy. The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s another standout, but remember it’s long-range and less certain.

The rest of the second week sees 7 ft to 10 ft swells, light winds, and clean conditions in the mornings, but nothing that screams “drop everything.”

The only real standout windows for a surfer are Friday the 28th of August morning, Saturday the 29th of August morning, Tuesday the 1st of September morning, and Monday the 7th of September afternoon. The best on offer is Tuesday the 1st of September – big, clean, and solid groundswell. For the advanced crew only. If you’re not at that level, sit this one out or wait for a smaller day.

Crowds at Pea Break are sometimes an issue, so on those good windows you might have company. It’s a reef, so long-period swells like the ones we’re seeing really love a setup like this – better shape, more energy, and longer lulls between sets.

Stay safe out there.

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.
