The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the goods on what's coming up for Pea Break. This is a reef break that's fairly consistent and takes a solid SW swell, and it's an advanced wave. The water's sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner wetsuit.
Right now, the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. The first real action kicks off Sunday, August 2nd, with a 10ft SW groundswell with a 13-second period pushing in. The combined energy is strong at 2757, but the wind is a light cross-shore from the NE. It's not going to be clean, and the surf is marginal. It's a start, but nothing to get overly excited about.
We then hit a bit of a lull on Monday and Tuesday, August 3rd and 4th. The swell drops to 6ft on Monday but the wind goes moderate and cross-shore, making it choppy. Tuesday sees a jump in size to 12ft from the WSW, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 16 mph, turning the place into a mess. It's a write-off.
The first real standout comes on Wednesday, August 5th. The swell is a solid 15ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is massive at 10265. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 9 mph. This is a powerful, clean groundswell, but at this size, it's only for the experts. That's a big, heavy reef wave. The tide conditions might be a bit tricky, but the wind is right.
Thursday, August 6th, sees the swell drop back to 13ft, but the wind goes onshore and strong, so that's a no-go. Friday, August 7th, is a mess with fresh cross-shore winds and a lumpy 13ft swell.
Now, the real standout of the whole run is Saturday, August 8th. Mark it down. We've got a solid 16ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, combined energy at 13074, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the S and SSW at 12 mph. That's a big, powerful, and clean swell. Again, this is strictly for the experts, but if you have the skills, this is the day. The forecast is promising, but still a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Sunday, August 9th, the swell drops to 12ft but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it's not as good. Monday, August 10th, has a nice offshore wind from the SE, 12ft swell, and a 17-second period, which is cleaner, but the energy is a bit lower.
Then, on Tuesday, August 11th, the swell goes absolutely nuts. We're looking at 23ft to 26ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is off the charts at 29087 and 34451. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it's glassy. But the forecast says it's predicted to be too big for this break. That's a lot of water moving around a reef, and it could be dangerous. The waves will be thick and heavy, and the sets will be massive. Not for anyone with a shred of self-preservation.
Wednesday, August 12th, is a better option for the experts. The swell is still big at 13ft to 16ft from the SSW, but the combined energy is lower, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. It's clean, and the conditions are described as exceptional for experts. That's a solid day.
The following week is a mixed bag. Thursday, August 13th, has a fresh cross-shore wind and a 10ft swell, but it's lumpy. Friday and Saturday, August 14th and 15th, are mostly poor with cross-onshore winds and rain. But Saturday, August 15th, turns around with a gentle offshore from the ESE and a clean 12ft SW swell with a 17-second period. That's a nice, clean end to the run.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Saturday, August 8th, for the big, clean, powerful swell if you're an expert. Wednesday, August 5th, and Wednesday, August 12th, are also solid options for the same crew. The rest of the period is a mix of dirty wind and messy surf. Keep your eyes on those standout days, but don't book the plane ticket just yet.

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.
