Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but this is no beginner’s playground. The standout window is the first few days, with a clean, powerful SW groundswell setting up nicely for the experienced crew. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let’s start with the action. Saturday morning, the 11th, we’re looking at a 8 ft SW swell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a strong 2492, and with a light S cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean. By the afternoon, it’s pushing 10 ft. This is proper, heavy reef surfing – only for the advanced.

Sunday the 12th is the pick of the bunch. Morning sees a 10 ft SW swell, period bumping to 14 seconds, and energy climbing to 4762. Wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW. It’s one of those mornings where you’ll be glad you checked the forecast. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 12 ft with a 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell, and the energy is a whopping 8187. That’s a lot of power. It’ll be a bit more challenging to get into the rhythm, but the sets will be worth the wait.

Monday the 13th keeps the good run going. Morning is 12 ft SW, 16 seconds, and just a whisper of wind. The energy is still massive at 6049. Monday afternoon, the wind shifts sideshore, but it’s light, so still very rideable.

Tuesday the 14th is a stunner. Morning has a 10 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a clean ENE cross-off. Then Tuesday afternoon? Glassy. ENE wind at 3 mph, flat calm. The swell is 10 ft, period 14 seconds, energy 3710. That’s the kind of afternoon you dream about – clean, lined-up sets rolling in with no wind chop.

Then the wheels fall off. Wednesday the 15th through to the end of the following week gets messy. Strong onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and the scores drop right off. There’s a big pulse on Saturday the 18th – 20 ft! That’s way too big for this break, and the wind is howling. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.

Things start to clean up again on Sunday the 19th. A 13 ft SW swell on the morning with a light offshore SSE breeze – that’s excellent, but again, for experts only. The following week (from the 21st onwards) has some decent windows, like Tuesday the 21st with glassy conditions and a 10 ft SSW swell, but the wind is a bit more fickle, and the energy is lower. It’s worth keeping an eye on, but nothing like that first weekend.

So, the call is simple: get on it this weekend. Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday are the real standouts. After that, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
