The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got one spot on the menu for the next 16 days: Pea Break. This is an advanced reef break, and it's fairly consistent, but don't get too excited just yet because the wind is going to be a real problem for most of the run.
The water temperature is sitting at about 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real window of opportunity kicks off on Tuesday, the 8th of September. Tuesday morning sees a solid 13ft WSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 7820, so there's a heap of power in the water. The wind is light cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph, keeping things clean. This is a serious swell – over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. That afternoon, the swell drops slightly to 12ft from the SW, still on that long 16-second period, but the wind swings to a light 6 mph cross-off from the ENE. The conditions are described as exceptional for experts. This is the standout period. The wind is light, the swell is big and clean, and the direction is right out of the SW, which is the optimum for this break.
Wednesday the 9th still has some size, with 10ft and 8ft swells on offer, but the wind picks up from the ENE – a fresh 19 mph in the morning and a gentler 9 mph in the afternoon. It stays cross-off though, so the quality is still there for experienced surfers, especially that afternoon session.
From Thursday the 10th through to the end of the first week, the swell drops a bit, but the wind becomes a real issue. We get cross-on winds from the north and eventually a strong westerly gale on Saturday the 12th that absolutely kills it. The combined energy is still moderate, but the wind is just too messy for good surfing. The setup at Pea Break, being a reef, isn't going to be fun in those conditions.
Starting Monday the 14th, the wind backs off and we get a cleaner period with 12ft SW swells and light cross-shore breezes. The energy is still strong (over 4000), and the conditions are described as marginal, but the wind is manageable. It's not the standout of the week, but it's a solid option for anyone who can handle the size.
The second week is a real mixed bag. From the 15th to the 18th, we get periods of clean cross-off winds with 8ft to 10ft swell, but by the 18th, a strong westerly gale blows through again, making a mess of things. The 20th of September sees a huge 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period and a massive 8127 in combined energy, but the wind is onshore from the NW, completely ruining it. That's a real shame because that's a monster swell.
The final few days of the forecast, from the 21st to the 23rd, are constantly blown out by strong westerly winds and driving rain. The swell is consistently big, between 10ft and 13ft, but the wind is just too strong for any sort of quality surf. It's a washout.
So, the pick of the 16 days is without a doubt Tuesday the 8th of September. The combination of a massive, long-period SW groundswell with light, clean cross-off winds is a rare treat. The afternoon session is the absolute best on offer. For the rest of the run, you'll be picking through the scraps of smaller, wind-affected windows.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
