Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Pea Break is the only game in town for this stretch, and honestly, it’s a serious slab. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent, so it knows how to pump. The water temp is sitting at 64.8°, which is about average for this time of year.

We kick off on Monday the 7th with a solid pulse. Morning has a 11.5 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period, and the wind is light SE offshore. That’s clean, that’s powerful, and the combined energy is reading 6307 – that’s strong, meaty swell. Excellent conditions for the experienced crew. The afternoon sees the wind swing S and pick up to 18.6 mph, turning it cross-offshore. The size holds at 11.5 ft, but the quality drops. It’s still surfable, but not as perfect.

Tuesday the 8th keeps the size up, around 13.1 ft in the morning from the WSW, with a 16-second period. The wind is ESE cross-off at 15.5 mph, and it’s clean. The afternoon drops to 11.5 ft with a lighter ENE cross-off. Still a heavy wave, but the wind is just a bit off the ideal.

Wednesday the 9th sees the swell back off a touch to 9.8 ft, but the wind gets messy. Morning is a fresh 18.6 mph cross-off, but the afternoon turns cross-shore with a cross-chop. Wave energy is dropping (3760). It’s doable but not firing.

Now, Thursday the 10th is a real standout. The morning is a bit lumpy with a NE cross-shore, but the afternoon? Glassy. The wind goes NW at just 3.1 mph, and it’s practically flat calm. The swell is 6.2 ft from the WSW with a 15-second period – that’s a long, clean groundswell. The energy is still moderate (1799), but for a reef break, that long period will make the waves peel perfectly. This is the best session on offer for the first week. Clean, glassy, and powerful.

Friday the 11th goes downhill. The wind is cross-on and choppy in the morning, and the swell drops to 5.2 ft but with a massive 19-second period. That’s a very long period swell, which can be weird at some spots, but on a reef it could still be good – problem is the onshore wind. The afternoon gets a 7.2 ft swell, but the wind is onshore and messy. Not the pick.

The weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 12th has rain showers and strong cross-onshore winds, hitting 28 mph. The swell is 7.5 ft, but it’s a washing machine. Sunday the 13th is more of the same: cross-onshore, choppy, lumpy. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 14th is a marginal call. The swell is 9.8 ft with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-shore with a slight chop. You could scratch out a wave, but it’s not the good stuff.

Tuesday the 15th is another highlight. Morning has a 8.2 ft WSW swell with a light SSW cross-offshore wind at 3.1 mph. Clean, glassy, and the energy is solid (2782). This is a great window for the experienced surfer. The afternoon holds up with a 7.9 ft swell and a still-clean cross-off breeze.

Wednesday the 16th through Thursday the 17th are not good. Wednesday morning has a weak 4.3 ft swell with onshore wind, and the afternoon is a messy 11.5 ft with a strong onshore. Thursday the 17th has a massive 16.4 ft SW swell, but it’s accompanied by a strong cross-shore wind that’s going to make it a bumpy, dangerous mess. Only for the truly experienced, and even then, it’s not the cleanest.

Friday the 18th is the biggest of the run: 18 ft swell in the morning with a near gale onshore wind. That’s a no-go for paddle surfing; that’s kite territory. The energy is off the charts (13750), but it’s just too wild.

The following weekend, Saturday the 19th, the swell drops to 11.5 ft and the wind goes cross-off again. It’s clean, but the energy is still high. Sunday the 20th has a 14.8 ft SW swell with onshore wind, but it’s manageable. The afternoon sees the energy jump to 16437 – that’s very strong. The wind is still onshore, so it’s a messy, powerful beast.

Monday the 21st: 16.4 ft SW swell with an 18-second period, very long period. The wind is onshore but light. The energy is huge (17664). For a reef break, that long period will make it a freight train. Only for experts, and it’s a bit of
