The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. Let’s get into it.
Right now, it’s a bit of a slow cook. The first few days look rough, but if you’ve got patience, there’s some serious swell brewing. A solid southwest groundswell is on the way, and Pea Break is where the focus will be. The water is currently sitting at 67°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – noticeably comfortable, keeps the hoodie at home.
The beginning of the week is a write-off. Monday and Tuesday through to Wednesday morning are all messy with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. It’s not worth paddling out. Tuesday morning sees a bit of clean-up with a cross-off wind, but there’s a marginal tag on it, so you’re not missing much.
Come Wednesday the 22nd of July, things start to click. Pea Break wakes up with a solid 12ft southwest swell, and the wind swings light offshore out of the ESE. The combined energy is pumping hard at 4081 (moderate to strong), and by the afternoon, it’s glassy with a gentle offshore breeze. This is the standout. It’s a big, powerful swell with a long 14-15 second period – proper groundswell. This is only for advanced surfers though; over 8ft and it’s expert territory. The reef setup will handle the long period nicely, giving you long, clean walls. Paddling out will be easier between sets, but the energy out there is significant. The crowds are a possibility here, so keep your head on a swivel.
Thursday and Friday drop off a bit. The swell backs down to 8ft and 5ft, and winds become cross-shore or cross-on. The energy drops too (2253 and then 887). It’s not terrible, but it’s not the show.
The weekend turns ugly. Saturday and Sunday the 26th are a mess. Sunday morning brings an 12ft southwest swell but with a horrible 22 mph onshore wind and rain. The afternoon does flip to a clean cross-off wind, but the swell jumps to a massive 16ft with 7047 combined energy. This is huge, raw power, and with the wind state being better, it’s still a big, heavy paddle. Only for the most experienced.
The start of the next week (Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th) holds size. Monday has 15ft to 12ft with clean offshore winds (SE). The energy is still very strong (5569). It’s another expert-level session. Tuesday sees the swell settle a bit to 10ft, still with clean conditions and a long 14-second period. The energy is still very solid (3517).
After that, the second week falls apart. From Wednesday the 29th of July through to the end of the first week of August, the wind is a nightmare. Fresh to strong breezes from the north, cross-shore and cross-on, turning the ocean into a lumpy mess. The swell is inconsistent and small. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 3rd of August with a 6ft southwest swell and glassy conditions, giving a brief reprieve, but the energy is moderate (1260). It’s worth a look if you’re desperate, but don’t plan your life around it.
The big one is the 22nd of July. The rest of the run is mostly for the hardcore or the patient.

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.
