The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Pea Break. It’s a reef setup, and it’s not for the faint of heart – this one’s for the advanced crew only.
The outlook starts off rough. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a write-off. We’re looking at a big, raw 16 ft swell on Saturday, but it’s coming with a howling 25 mph westerly wind, cross-onshore, and the whole thing is a mess. The combined energy is a massive 9038 (strong), but it’s completely unsurfable. Sunday sees the swell drop to 10 ft, but the wind is still a problem, cross-shore and lumpy. Monday the 20th is more of the same slop.
Then, things start to turn. Tuesday the 21st is the first real glimmer of hope. The swell is still a solid 8 ft from the SW, but the wind swings to a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 2686 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 8 ft, it’s pushing into expert-only territory. Mid-week, Wednesday the 22nd is the standout of the first week. The swell holds at 10 ft from the SW, but the wind drops to glass. Absolutely zero wind, 0 mph, making for a rare, glassy morning and afternoon. The energy is 2561 (moderate). This is the pick of the early period; a true window of perfection. Thursday and Friday are a step down with onshore winds creeping back in, making it choppy and marginal.
We hit a bit of a lull Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th morning with strong winds and messy surf. But hold onto your board – Sunday afternoon the 26th is a big one. The swell jumps to 10 ft from the SW, but the period is a very long 17 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to 5082 (strong). This is clean, powerful, and for the experienced crew. The long period will make it a bit straight at the take-off, but the reef should handle it.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are only marginal, with onshore winds and weaker energy.
Now, the real bombshell comes on Wednesday the 29th of July. This is the undisputed best on offer in the whole 16-day window. The swell is a beastly 16 ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the SE at 12 mph. The combined energy is a staggering 15138 (very strong). This is exceptional, expert-only surf. The offshore wind will keep it clean, but at that size, it’s for the big-wave specialists only. The standouts are the Wednesday morning session and the clean, dropping swell on Thursday the 30th. The long-range call for the 31st of July and into August is a bit of a letdown, with strong onshore winds returning, but the 29th and 30th are the marks on the calendar.
If you’re an expert, the 29th of July is the one to circle. For the rest of us, the glassy Wednesday the 22nd is the best bet for a clean, solid session without the terrifying size.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
