The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down Pea Break.
We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but the wind is gonna be the main character for the first few days. The real sweet spot hits around Thursday afternoon and into Friday morning, with cleaner conditions and plenty of power.
Jumping in on Tuesday the 18th afternoon, we’ve got a huge 15ft groundswell from the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (8820), but the wind is a strong 30 km/h onshore from the NW. That’ll be a bit of a mess. The water temp is 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 19th keeps the size at 15ft, with a cross-shore wind and rain showers in the morning. The afternoon cleans up a little, but it’s still cross-shore. A lot of water moving around.
Now, Thursday the 20th afternoon, the wind shifts to a cross-offshore breeze with a gentle breeze. The swell drops to a still-chunky 13ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is still hefty (6882). This is the first window of proper clean surf for experienced surfers. That’s a stand-out session.
Friday the 21st morning is the true standout. The wind goes glassy, 5 km/h from the east, cross-offshore. The swell is a solid 12ft from the WSW, with a 14-second period. Clean conditions and tons of energy (5010). This is the best wave of the whole forecast. Friday afternoon holds up nicely too.
The weekend sees the swell drop, but it stays clean. Saturday the 22nd has 10ft to 8ft waves with clean cross-offshore winds. It’s still good for experienced surfers. Sunday the 23rd gets a bit windier and the quality drops.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are a write-off with strong onshore winds and a jumbled-up sea. Tuesday’s 45 km/h winds will make it a total mess. That’s a skip.
We get a reset on Wednesday the 26th with a big 15ft swell returning, and the afternoon sees a cross-offshore breeze. A powerful, clean session for the experts. Thursday the 27th is also a good call with an 12ft swell and clean, light offshore winds.
After that, the last week of August and into September is a bit of a wait-and-see. The swell drops off significantly, but we get another promising spike right at the end of the forecast. Tuesday the 1st of September morning looks like a beauty: an 12ft groundswell with a very long 17-second period, clean cross-offshore breeze, and a combined energy of 6954. That’s a long-range call, but the signs are good.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 21st morning for the cleanest, biggest, most powerful swell. The Thursday the 20th afternoon is a close second. If you’re an experienced surfer, the 1st of September is worth keeping an eye on.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
