The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pea Break.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a serious pulse of energy arriving Sunday morning, the 9th of August. A solid 16ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period is pumping in, and the combined energy is a massive 11856. That’s some serious water moving around. But here’s the rub – the wind is a messy cross-shore from the WSW at 16 mph, making it a bit of a battle. Sunday afternoon sees the rain and an onshore kick, so that day is a write-off for clean waves.
The wait for the real standout is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The swell is still a hefty 18ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, but the wind swings to a cross-offshore from the SSW at 19 mph. That’s the magic combo. The conditions are clean. This is a big one – over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experts. The break is a reef, so that long-period groundswell will line up nicely, but you need to know what you’re doing. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are possible, so get there early.
The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday afternoon, the 13th, cleans up again with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 13ft SW swell (16 seconds). That’s a solid option for the experienced crew, but for the average surfer, the size is still challenging.
The following week drops off in size and gets wind-affected. The best chance for a smaller, more manageable wave comes on Saturday the 15th in the afternoon. The swell drops to 8ft from the WSW, the wind goes glassy, and the energy is low (2438). It’s clean, but it’s inconsistent and the swell is small. It’s a quiet afternoon session.
The second week looks rough. From the 16th onwards, the wind is mostly onshore, strong, and messy. The swell stays between 8ft and 16ft, but it’s blown out. There’s a window on Wednesday the 19th morning with a 10ft WSW swell, but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy. It’s a long stretch of poor surf.
So, the standout is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. Big, clean, and powerful. Don’t be late.
Rusty.

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.
