The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Pea Break, but it’s not all smooth sailing. This is a reef setup for advanced surfers only, and the forecast is a wild mix of huge, powerful groundswells and messy, blown-out days. The water’s sitting at 67.1°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing too wild, but you’ll feel it.
The action kicks off this Sunday morning, August 2nd. The swell is already pumping at 9.8ft from the SW with a long 13-second period, packing a punch with combined energy of 3475 (moderate). The problem is a cross-shore NE breeze at 12 mph is putting a bit of chop on it, and the tide might be a pain. It’s a marginal call, but the swell is there. By Sunday afternoon, the wind drops to 6 mph, still cross-shore, and the swell holds. It’s a little better, but still not perfect.
Monday, August 3rd, is a write-off. The swell drops to 5.6ft, but the wind swings to a nasty cross-shore from the NNE at 16 mph in the morning, then a full-on cross-onshore from the NNW at 19 mph in the afternoon. The wave energy is moderate (1339 and 1542), but the surf is poor. Don’t bother.
Tuesday, August 4th, is worse. The swell jumps to 13.1ft from the WSW, but it’s a wall of cross-onshore wind from the west at 12-16 mph. The energy is strong (8707 and 7949), but the conditions are a mess. This is blown-out and lumpy—kite surfers might be having a field day, but paddle surfers, stay on the beach.
Wednesday, August 5th, is the first real standout. The swell is a solid 14.8ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 10395 (strong). The wind is offshore from the WNW at a gentle 9 mph. That’s clean, big, and powerful. This is a heavy, expert-only wave. The long period (16 seconds) means it’ll be grinding and offering long, deep lines, but it’s going to be a handful at the reef. This is the best session of the first week.
Thursday, August 6th, the wind turns onshore from the NNW again at 19 mph, with the same 13.1ft WSW swell. The energy is still strong (7888), but the wind kills it. Poor conditions.
Friday, August 7th, is a messy transition. The swell is 14.8ft from the WSW, but the wind is cross-shore from the WSW, building to a strong 25 mph in the afternoon. The energy is strong (8066-9059), but it’s choppy and rough. Not worth it.
Now, Saturday, August 8th, is the absolute standout of the whole 16-day window. The swell is a beastly 18.0ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a staggering 16016 (very strong). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW, starting at 19 mph in the morning and dropping to a moderate 12 mph in the afternoon. The conditions are clean. This is a massive, powerful groundswell that will be breaking perfectly at the reef. It’s an expert-only, heavy-water day. The crowds are possible, but with this size, the lineup will thin out. This is the one to circle.
Sunday, August 9th, the swell drops to 13.1-11.5ft, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the WSW and WNW, making it fairly choppy. The energy is moderate (6607-4998). It

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.
