The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Pea Break is the only spot worth talking about for the next two weeks. It’s a heavy reef for advanced surfers only, and the first week takes some patience before it really fires.
Water temp is about 68°F, right where it should be for this time of year. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Tuesday afternoon (September 8th) starts it off with a solid 12-foot swell from the WSW, with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 6917. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph, keeping the surface glassy. This is a serious session for experts only – way too big for anyone else.
Wednesday the 9th still has plenty of size. Morning shows 10 feet (energy 3793) and afternoon drops to 8 feet (energy 3183). Both have cross-off winds, but the morning is breezier at 15 mph. Still good groundswell from the WSW.
Thursday the 10th sees the swell drop. Morning is 6 feet with moderate cross-shore wind and chop. Not worth it. But the afternoon has a short window with 7 feet WSW groundswell (15-second period) and a light offshore wind from the NW at just 3 mph – about as glassy as it gets. If you can time it, that’s your moment.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are messy. Strong cross-on winds, choppy conditions, even though the swell hangs around 5 to 10 feet. Stay home.
Sunday the 13th stays ugly: 10 to 12 feet with cross-on wind. More of a kite day.
Now Monday the 14th – this is the first true standout. Morning has 12 feet at 14 seconds, energy 5450, with light cross-shore wind from the NE at 6 mph. The afternoon gets even better: same 12-foot swell, 15-second period, energy 5868, and the wind turns cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph. Clean face, long lines. Circle this date.
Tuesday the 15th is still solid with 10 to 8 feet and cross-off winds. The afternoon wind picks up to 22 mph, so go early.
From Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th, the wind turns onshore or messy. Swell stays between 5 and 8 feet but quality is low.
Now the second week. Saturday September 19th is a beast – 18 to 20 feet from the SW with fresh cross-on winds. That’s blown-out chaos.
Sunday September 20th is massive – 20 to 21 feet from the SW with an incredible 18-second period, combined energy over 23,000. Wind is clean cross-off from the south. The file says it’s predicted to be too big for the break, and that’s fair. This is big-wave territory for the pros only.
Monday September 21st morning is still too big – 20 feet, 17-second groundswell, cross-off, energy 20,569. But Monday afternoon? That’s the absolute best of the whole run. Swell drops to 18 feet, period still a long 16 seconds, energy 16,623, and the wind goes light at 6 mph from the SSE – still cross-off. Conditions are exceptional. For experts, this is as good as it gets.
Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd fade down through 15 feet to 12 feet. Wednesday afternoon (September 23rd) ends with a clean 12-foot, 14-second swell and light cross-off wind – a nice finish.
So here’s the deal: first week, aim for Monday the 14th. Second week, don’t miss Monday the 21st afternoon. Both are for advanced and expert surfers only. Crowds are possible here, but on a clean big swell, it’s worth sharing the lineup.
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.
