The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got for Pea Break over the next couple weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re into a bit of a rough patch. Saturday afternoon the 15th kicks off with an 8ft WSW swell, but it’s coming in under a cross-on light breeze and the quality is marginal at best. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Combined swell energy is moderate (2029). For an advanced reef break like Pea Break, this is not the time to get excited.
The next couple of days, Sunday 16th through to Monday afternoon the 17th, are just plain ugly. Fresh to strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions with big, crumbly swell. A 16ft wave on Monday afternoon with a strong cross-shore is a write-off. Forget about it.
Tuesday morning the 18th is the first real glimmer of hope. The swell drops a touch to 15ft from the WSW, period bumps up to 16 seconds – that’s a solid groundswell. The wind flips offshore (WNW) with a gentle breeze. Combined energy is very strong (9212). It’s big, over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. The tide and conditions are marginal, so pick your time.
Wednesday 19th is mixed – morning is a washout, but Wednesday afternoon cleans up slightly with a gentle cross-shore and a 15ft WSW swell, still with that long 15-second period. It’s marginal but workable for the brave.
Now, Thursday 20th through Friday 21st sees the swell settle a bit. Thursday is cross-shore and choppy, not great. But look at Friday afternoon the 21st – that’s something special. A 13ft SW swell with a 14-second period, combined energy at a very strong 5842, and the wind goes glassy (ENE 3 mph). The forecast calls for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the standout for the first week. Pea Break will be absolutely clean, powerful, and lined up. Expect crowds – it’s a spot that can get busy when it’s good.
Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd continue the mellowing trend. Saturday afternoon is glassy with an 8ft SW swell – excellent surf. Sunday stays clean with 7ft to 8ft SW swell and glassy to light offshore winds. This is a beautiful run for strong intermediate to advanced surfers.
Then we hit a real gap. From Monday 24th through to Wednesday 26th, it’s blown out. Strong winds, messy seas, poor conditions across the board. No go.
Thursday 27th is marginal at best with onshore winds and a dropping swell.
The last hope in the period is Sunday the 30th. Saturday the 29th is not great, but Sunday morning the 30th has a 13ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, combined energy very strong (7758), and the wind is cross-off (SSW 12 mph), keeping things clean for the experts. Sunday afternoon is still big but with a moderate cross-shore, marginal but worth a look for the diehards. That’s the only real long-range bright spot, though it’s a way off – make of it what you will.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Friday afternoon the 21st with glassy conditions on a solid SW groundswell. After that, the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd is your next best bet for cleaner, smaller surf. The rest is either too big and windy, or just a waiting game.
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.
