Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Pea Break.

First off, the early part of the outlook is a write-off. Saturday the 5th is a total loss with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. You’re better off staying home. We’ve got a solid gap of no good surf until Sunday morning the 6th rolls around.

Sunday the 6th is where things start to get interesting. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step up. We’ve got a 13ft swell from the SW with a clean offshore breeze from the SSE, blowing at 19 mph. The wave energy is massive (6056), and it’s a long-period groundswell at 12 seconds. That kind of period is going to give you some real push, but it’s a solid 13ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Monday the 7th is the real standout. Morning session is the call. Swell holds at 12ft from the SW, but the period jumps to a very long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (6307). The wind is a gentle offshore from the SE at 9 mph, making for super clean conditions. This is the kind of day where you’ll be getting some long, powerful lines, but that long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break. Pea Break is a reef, so it should handle that beautifully. Just a heads up, it’s an advanced spot, and crowds are possible, so get in early.

Tuesday the 8th morning is another cracker. A 13ft swell from the WSW, again with a very long 16-second period, and a moderate offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. The energy is through the roof (7971), and it’s clean. This is top-tier for experts. The wind swings to a light cross-shore in the afternoon, so the morning is your window.

After that, the quality drops off. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are marginal, with smaller swell and cross or cross-off winds. The 9th still has some decent size (10ft) and clean conditions, but it’s not the same magic as Monday and Tuesday.

The second week gets messy. From Friday the 11th onwards, it’s a lot of cross-on and onshore winds, with size coming and going but conditions poor. The swell stays in the 5ft to 12ft range, but the wind is just never your friend. There’s a big spike on Saturday the 19th with a huge 18ft to 21ft WSW swell, but that’s accompanied by strong cross-shore winds and a very messy cross-chop. That’s for the kamikaze crew only. Sunday the 20th morning looks promising at first glance – 21ft from the WSW, glassy conditions with a very long 15-second period, and massive energy (17334), but it’s a huge, powerful swell. That’s a serious, expert-only day.

To be honest, the best bet is to lock in Monday the 7th or Tuesday the 8th morning. Don’t sleep on them.

Rusty.
