The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Pea Break.
Well, the first week is a write-off for anyone wanting a proper paddle. We’re looking at a massive, angry ocean out there. The swell is just too big and the wind is howling. From Friday the 7th right through the weekend, we’re talking about a solid 13ft to 21ft of SW swell, which is just insane for this spot. With a near gale blowing on Saturday morning, that’s not surf, that’s survival. The energy levels are massive, but the wind is just too strong for it to be anything but a mess. It’s a no-go.
Things start to look a little more interesting on Tuesday the 11th. The morning shows a solid 23ft SW groundswell (16-second period), but it’s still too big for Pea Break. That afternoon, the size drops to 20ft, and while the wind is cross-off, the data says it’s still too big. Wednesday the 12th, the swell is 15ft and the wind is cross-shore, but it’s still a bit lumpy and the tide might be playing tricks. It’s just not clean.
The real standout, the one that’s got me talking, is way out there. Keep your eye on the Saturday the 22nd of August. The forecast is showing a glassy morning with a 7ft swell from the WSW. That’s a proper size for this advanced reef break, and the period is a very long 19 seconds. That’s groundswell with real energy. The wind is glassy, which means it’ll be as clean as a whistle. This is a big, raw, powerful wave, and it’s only for the experienced crew. It’s going to be a serious session, but it’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it yet.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
The rest of the second week has some 12ft to 15ft swell, but the wind is never quite perfect. There’s a chance on Wednesday the 19th with a 15ft swell and a light cross-onshore breeze that might clean up, but it’s not the standout.
So, surfers, the first week is a definite flat tire. The second week has some marginal windows, but the big one to watch is that Saturday the 22nd. If that pans out, it’ll be worth the wait.
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.
