The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Pea Break. We’ve got a serious run of solid, powerful SW groundswell on the way, but the wind is going to be the real story. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
The window kicks off Sunday the 13th, but forget it—cross-on WNW wind at 15 mph and a raw 10ft SW swell. It’s ugly. Combined energy is strong at 3421. Best to stay out of the water.
Monday the 14th is where it gets good. Morning sees a 12ft WSW swell, 14-second period, and a beautiful ESE offshore at 9 mph. Combined energy is very strong (4752). This is a standout session for experienced surfers—clean, lined-up, and powerful. The offshore holds through the afternoon with SE wind, and the swell stays solid.
Tuesday the 15th is still clean with cross-off winds, but the score drops a notch. Swell holds at 10ft SW, period 14 seconds, energy still strong (3665). It’s surfable but not quite the same magic.
Wednesday the 16th drops off—swell backs to 6ft, period still good, but cross-shore NE wind messes with the surface. Combined energy drops to moderate (1320). Not worth the paddle.
Thursday the 17th is a write-off—onshore NNW wind at 12 mph, lumpy, poor. Swell 5ft.
Friday the 18th has potential but watch the morning—fresh cross-shore NNE at 19 mph, 8ft swell, period short at 11 seconds, energy moderate-strong (2944). Choppy. The afternoon improves: cross-off NE wind, 10ft SW swell, period jumps to 16 seconds, and combined energy is very strong at 4773. Cleaner, but still a bit tricky.
Saturday the 19th is rough—fresh SW cross-shore at 22 mph, 10ft swell, messy. Not for paddling.
Sunday the 20th brings onshore NW wind and a solid 12ft SW swell with 14-15 second period. Combined energy is very strong (up to 4890). Clean it’s not—only for the brave.
Monday the 21st stays solid—12ft SW swell, 16-second period, cross-off S wind. Energy is very strong (5658). Clean lines, but the wind is fresh. Still a good session for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are both clean with cross-off E/ENE wind, swell 10-12ft, period 14-16 seconds. Energy very strong (up to 4922). Solid, consistent, but not quite the top of the run.
Now, the real standout is Sunday the 27th. Morning kicks off with a 10ft NW swell—but wait, that’s short-period at 8 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (1801). Not the best shape. The afternoon though: 18ft WNW swell, 12-second period, combined energy is extreme at 9296. That is a huge, powerful groundswell. Wind is cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph. Clean. This is a big-wave day for experts only—over 8ft, so beginners stay well away. The long period means the waves will have plenty of punch and long lulls, great for reefs and points like Pea Break. Expect crowds, because this is the one.
Monday the 28th still has solid 15ft WSW swell but fresher ENE wind, so not as clean.
Overall, the best on offer is Monday the 14th and Sunday the 27th afternoon. The 14th is cleaner and more manageable, the 27th is bigger and more raw. Both are for experienced surfers. Pea Break is fairly consistent, so don’t stress the gaps.
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.
