The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range look for Pea Break. This one’s a real tale of two halves – a frustrating, choppy first week and then a big, powerful pulse that could be on the cards if the wind plays along. Swell energy is going to swing from moderate right up to very strong, so strap in.
We start on the 30th of August. There’s a 10ft swell from the WSW with a deep 17-second period pushing through, but the energy is absolutely thumping at 6043 (moderate-to-strong). Thing is, it’s ruined by a 12 mph cross-shore wind and the call is marginal at best. It’s one for the experts only at that size anyway. Monday the 31st gets worse – wind whips up to 19 mph cross-onshore, dropping the score to zero, and the swell is lumpy and poor. Tuesday and Wednesday stay in that frustrating zone with 10ft swell but persistent cross and cross-onshore winds keeping it messy. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off with onshore wind up to 22 mph.
Then the whole picture changes. On Friday the 4th of September, real power arrives. A 20ft SW swell with a 16-second period lights up the energy reading to 17622 (very strong). The wind swings to a clean cross-offshore from the SSW at 25 mph – that’s a proper offshore for Pea Break. *This is the first standout*. It’s massive, it’s powerful, and it’s dangerous for anyone but advanced surfers. The water temperature is average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds are possible here on a day like that.
Saturday the 5th holds at 18ft from the SW with a gentler 13-second period and a cross-shore wind, but the energy is still strong (10212). The morning on the 6th of September is a real highlight: 15ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, paired with a light offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph. The report calls it exceptional for experts. Clean, glassy lines for the crew who can handle it. The energy rating is 7631 (strong). Sunday the 7th sees the swell back to 15ft with a 16-second period and a morning onshore, afternoons get messy.
By the 9th of September, the swell drops to a more manageable 7ft to 8ft from the WSW and SW. Wednesday the 9th is glassy, dead calm in the morning, with a 14-second period – that’s clean, fun-sized waves for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate at 1754. *That’s the second standout* for those who want a top-quality session without the heavy water. A light cross-offshore breeze backs it up in the afternoon.
After that, the 10th and 11th of September fall apart again with onshore and cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. The 12th brings back 15ft swell but with rain and onshore wind – messy and blown out. The 13th of September has some promise with 15ft WSW swell and a gentle cross-onshore, energy up to 11292 (strong), but it’s still a bit lumpy. The long-range call for the 14th of September shows a massive 18ft WSW swell with a 17-second period (energy 16059, very strong) but with onshore wind – a real tease.
To wrap it up, Pea Break is a reef spot, so those long-period SW swells will wrap in nicely, but the first week is a windy struggle. The standout is the morning of the 6th of September with clean offshore wind and 15ft, plus the glassy morning on the 9th for a cleaner, smaller session. The rest is either too windy or too big and raw.

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.
