The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up.

First off, the big picture: we’ve got a solid run of groundswell heading our way, but it’s going to be a battle with the wind for a while. The first few days are a write-off for any decent paddle surfing, but there’s some real gems hiding in the second week if you’re patient.

The only spot in the game is Pea Break. This is a reef setup for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent. It’s exposed to the southwest swell, and that’s exactly where the energy is coming from. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

We kick off with a big, powerful swell on Tuesday, September 1st. Swell is 8ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, packing a punch – the combined energy is 3079 (moderate). But the 12 mph SW cross-wind is going to ruin the surface, leaving a lumpy cross-chop. Not worth paddling out. Wednesday is worse: the swell jumps to 12ft, but it’s a full-on washing machine with 16 mph cross-onshore winds. You’d be better off kiting than surfing in that.

Thursday and Friday stay big and messy. By Friday, September 4th, the swell is up to 18ft from the SW with a 15-second period and combined energy of 13346 (very strong). That is some serious ocean energy, but the 19 mph SW cross-wind makes it a bumpy, lumpy mess. Saturday is a full-on gale, with 34 mph winds. Just stay home.

The first real window opens on Monday, September 7th. The swell is holding at 15ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is 9903 (strong). It’s still a bit of a beast, but the clean-up begins. The afternoon session is even better with a light cross-shore wind.

Now, the absolute standout is Tuesday, September 8th, in the morning. The wind goes glassy. Zero. The swell is 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period and combined energy of 7570 (strong). This is exceptional surf for expert surfers. The conditions are described as glassy, and that’s a rare treat. The afternoon is also clean with a light offshore breeze. This is the best of the week.

After that, the wind gets messy again for a few days, but there’s another sweet spot on Monday, September 14th, and Tuesday, September 15th. The swell drops to a more manageable 7ft to 8ft from the SW, with a 12-13 second period. The combined energy is low to moderate (1337 to 1933). The real story is the wind: glassy conditions on the mornings of both days. This is clean, fun-sized surf for experienced surfers. The crowds are possible at Pea Break, so get in early.

The long-range call for mid-September looks promising, but it’s a bit less certain. After the 15th, the wind turns cross-onshore again, so that Tuesday morning window is the one to aim for.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a stormy mess. The standout is Tuesday, September 8th, morning – glassy, 13ft SW groundswell, expert only. The smaller, cleaner window is Monday and Tuesday, September 14th-15th, mornings – glassy, fun 7ft to 8ft SW swell. Don't bother with the rest.

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.
