The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what Pea Break has lined up for us. It's a reef set-up that takes a south-west swell, and the water's sitting at about 65°F, which is pretty average for this time of year. Fair warning up front: the next week and a half is going to test your patience more than your paddling, but there's a sneaky little window worth circling on the calendar for the end of the run.
Right now, we're dealing with a real mess. Saturday the 15th kicks off with an 8ft WSW swell, but the wind is a cross-shore mess at 16 mph, making for a lumpy, marginal session. It's not worth paddling out for. That trend continues through Sunday and Monday. Sunday the 16th sees the swell jump to 10ft, but paired with a howling cross-on wind at 22 mph, it's completely blown out.
Monday the 17th is a write-off. We're looking at a huge 13ft to 15ft swell, but the wind is screaming cross-shore at 28 to 31 mph. The wave energy is extreme, but it's just a churning, dangerous mess. This is more of a kite-surfing zone than a paddle zone—leave the shortboard at home.
The middle of the week from Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 21st stays big, with swell holding around 12ft to 15ft, and the wind is still cross or cross-on and choppy. The conditions are poor. Thursday afternoon the 20th offers a brief glimmer with an 12ft swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but it's still marginal for a spot that’s already advanced-level only.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The standout window is Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd. Saturday afternoon sees the swell drop to a more manageable 8ft from the SW, with a light offshore cross-off breeze and clean conditions. The energy is still solid. But the true gem is Sunday morning the 23rd. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, on a 10ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. This is the best on offer: long period, clean, and that reef will handle it nicely. It’s still big enough for experienced surfers only—steep take-offs. Just be aware that crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get out early.
After that, Monday the 24th gets blown out again with fresh cross-onshore winds, and we get a massive pulse of 20ft to 21ft swell on the 25th and 26th. The wind turns clean cross-off, but 20ft is for the brave or the foolish. The energy readings are off the charts, but this is expert territory only. The last good look is Wednesday the 26th morning, with a 15ft SW swell and clean cross-off winds, but again, only for the very experienced.
The final few days, the 27th through the 30th, drop back down in size but the wind turns ugly again with onshores and storms. Not worth it.
So to sum it up: most of this 16-day run is blown out or too wild. Your best chance for a proper session is Sunday the 23rd when it goes glassy. That’s your window.
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.
