The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s break down Pea Break.
The water is sitting at 67°F and it’s about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit more comfortable than you’d expect.
The whole 16-day window is a real mixed bag with a lot of messy wind. The true standout is Wednesday, 22 July. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, and the afternoon pumps up to 12ft with a 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is massive (4139 and 4553), and the wind is light and offshore from the E to ESE, keeping it glassy. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. Just a heads up, it’s for advanced surfers only, it’s fairly consistent, and you can expect crowds sometimes. Clean, powerful, and well-shaped – this is the pick of the fortnight.
Before that, the early part of the week is a write-off. Sunday (19 July) and Monday (20 July) are blown out with cross and cross-onshore winds, and the swell is messy. Tuesday (21 July) cleans up a bit with cross-offshore winds and a 8ft to 8ft SW swell, but the energy is only moderate (2066 to 2121) and it’s still just marginal. Not a total loss, but not a standout.
After Wednesday’s peak, things get shaky again. Thursday (23 July) through to the end of the month sees a lot of cross and cross-onshore winds, dropping swell sizes, and a lot of “poor” calls. The wind just doesn’t play nice.
Then we hit the end of the month and into August, and it gets wild. There’s a massive pulse of energy – 18ft at 16 seconds from the WSW on Friday, 31 July, with combined energy hitting 14846. That is a serious amount of water moving. But the wind is a mess (cross and cross-onshore, strong breeze to near gale), so it’s going to be ugly. This is big, raw, and dangerous – only for experts, and even then, it’s a gamble.
After that, the first few days of August are just a write-off. Gale force winds, heavy rain, and completely blown out conditions. Not worth paddling out.
So, if you’re planning a session, lock in Wednesday, 22 July. Everything else is either blown out, too weak, or just plain messy. The gap after that is a long stretch of poor quality until that huge, wind-affected swell at the end of the month.
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.
