The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Pea Break.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid pulse of swell hitting the reef. For the next few days, the water is sitting at 67° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus. The main event is a big, long-period SW groundswell that arrives on Tuesday the 11th. This is a serious swell, 16 feet from the SW with a 16-second period and the combined energy reading is a massive 12298 – that’s a lot of power in the water. But you’ve got to be sharp: the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the SW, blowing at 19 mph, which is going to leave a lumpy cross-chop on the surface. It’s not clean, but for the experienced crew, there’s plenty of push.
Wednesday the 12th drops a notch to 13 feet, still SW, with periods around 14-15 seconds, but the wind stays cross-shore, so it’s a bit bumpy. Thursday the 13th shows a little improvement with the wind going light and cross-onshore from the north, but the swell drops to 12 feet. The real highlight of this first week? Friday the 14th afternoon. The swell is still a solid 12 feet from the SW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the moment – clean, lined-up waves for the experienced surfer. The energy is still moderate at 4684, but with glassy conditions, the reef will be running smooth.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th drops off quickly. Swell backs down to 8 feet, and the wind is choppy and onshore. Not worth your time. Monday the 17th sees a bump back up to 13 feet, with a fresh cross-offshore wind from the SW cleaning things up a bit. That afternoon looks workable for the advanced surfer, but it’s not a standout.
Now, looking into the second week, there’s a promising day on Saturday the 22nd. The morning shows 12 feet from the SW, with a 17-second period, and glassy conditions. That’s a long-period groundswell, which will peel beautifully down the reef. The energy is strong at 7316, and the wind is dead calm. For the expert surfer, this is the best of the whole run – clean, powerful, and consistent. Just be aware that with a 22-second gap between sets, the paddle out is easier, but the sets will be solid.
The 25th is another morning of glassy conditions with 12 feet from the SW, but the period is a touch shorter. Still a good option for the experienced. The rest of that week is messy with onshore winds and dropping swell.
Overall, the standout windows are Friday the 14th afternoon for that glassy 12 feet, and Saturday the 22nd morning for the bigger, longer-period groundswell under glass. The rest of the time, wind and chop are going to be the main battle. Pea Break is a reef, so it can handle the size, but it needs the right wind to shine. Keep your eyes on those two sessions.
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.
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.
