The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. Things are looking a bit of a mixed bag around here, but there’s some serious size and energy on the way for the crew that know what they’re doing.

The main game in town is Pea Break, a reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell but needs the right direction – it likes it from the SW. The water’s sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.

The action kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, August 19th. We’ve got a solid 15 ft swell slamming in from the WSW with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 9944, so there’s plenty of push. The wind is a cross-shore from the SW at 12 mph, which keeps it rideable, but the report says it’s marginal, so tide and shape will be a factor. This is big, powerful stuff – definitely for advanced surfers only.

Thursday morning, August 20th, the swell drops to 12 ft but the period stays long at 16 seconds. The wind turns light and cross-off from the SSW in the afternoon, and that’s when things clean right up. The energy is still strong at 6308, and the conditions are described as clean and excellent for experienced surfers. Friday, August 21st, is a standout with a glassy ENE breeze at 3 mph in the morning, cross-off again, and clean 12 ft SW swell. The energy is still high around 4862 – this is the best you’ll see for a clean, powerful session.

Saturday morning, August 22nd, holds at 10 ft with a 16-second period, and the wind is a gentle cross-off from the S. It’s clean, but the energy is dropping to 3794. By Saturday afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph, and things get more marginal. Sunday, August 23rd, sees the swell still at 8-10 ft, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the S. It’s clean but the energy is strong, and it’s only for the experienced.

After that, there’s a real lull from Monday, August 24th, through to Tuesday, August 25th, with the swell dropping to under 5 ft and the wind turning onshore and messy. Those days are pretty much a write-off, with poor conditions and low energy.

Then, on Wednesday, August 26th, we get another big pulse – 15 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period and energy spiking to 10790. The morning looks terrible with 19 mph onshore wind, but the afternoon sees the wind swing to a light cross-shore from the SW at 9 mph. The energy is still massive at 10540, and it’s marginal but could be a beast for the right crew. Again, this is big, heavy reef – experts only.

Thursday, August 27th, brings a solid 12 ft SW swell with a 15-second period and a strong offshore wind from the SSE at 16 mph in the morning. That’s a clean, off-the-charts look, but the energy is still high at 4556. The wind is a bit stronger in the afternoon, but it’s still clean. Friday, August 28th, sees a 7 ft SW swell with a 12-second period and a clean cross-off breeze from the E at 9 mph. The energy is dropping to 1385, but it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers.

From Saturday, August 29th, onward, the swell becomes inconsistent and the period gets very long (up to 21 seconds), which makes it more of a point-and-reef proposition. The wind is often onshore or cross, and the quality drops off. There are a few clean windows on September 2nd and 3rd with 10-12 ft WSW swell and light winds, but the energy is still moderate to strong. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain.

Bottom line: The best windows are the afternoon of Thursday, August 20th, and the morning of Friday, August 21st, for clean, powerful, expert-level surf. The Wednesday, August 26th afternoon and the offshore morning of Thursday, August 27th are also worth a look for the big-wave hunters. After that, stay tuned, but the consistency fades.

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.
