The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Pea Break. This is a reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes a good SW direction. Water temp is sitting at 64° right now, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern ahead is a frustrating one for a while. We’ve got plenty of size on the way, but the wind is going to be a real pain for the first week or so. Saturday afternoon kicks off with 10ft of SW groundswell, period a long 17 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 4678. But it’s a cross-off breeze from the east at 12 mph, and the call is marginal due to tide. It’s not terrible, but not a standout.
Then Sunday morning looks a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, though the swell sticks around 10ft from the WSW. The afternoon cleans up a little with a light offshore from the NW, but again, it’s marginal. Monday and Tuesday get ugly – strong onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and the scores drop. Wednesday through to Friday morning is a write-off. We’re looking at 10ft to 20ft of swell, but the wind is howling from the SW and WNW, creating a real mess. The energy hits 15443 on Friday morning, but it’s a strong cross-shore disaster. By Friday afternoon, there’s a glimmer with 16ft and a fresh cross-shore, but it’s still lumpy.
Saturday the 5th of September and Sunday the 6th are a bit of a tease. Saturday has 18ft of swell, but a near gale is blowing, so forget it. Sunday the 6th, however, is the first real hope. The afternoon shows 15ft of SW groundswell, period 16 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze from the SSW at 12 mph. The energy is a huge 9973. This is big, powerful, and clean. It’s an expert-only zone at this size, but if you’re game, the waves will be pumping.
Monday the 7th of September still holds size with 16ft and 15ft, but the wind is onshore. The afternoon has a light offshore from the NW, which is promising, but it’s a long way out. The real standout, though, is Thursday the 10th of September. That morning looks exceptional for experts. We’re talking 16ft of WSW groundswell, period 17 seconds, and a moderate offshore from the SSE at 16 mph. The energy is a massive 13891, and it’s clean. The afternoon is even better with a light offshore from the SE at 6 mph and glassy conditions. This is your window.
After that, the wind turns ugly again, but then Sunday the 13th of September rolls in with a late show. The afternoon has 18ft of groundswell from the WSW, a period of 19 seconds, and glassy conditions with zero wind. The energy is a monster 22861. It’s too big for most, but for the expert crew, this is a dream session if the tide plays ball.
Overall, the first week is a grind with wind and chop. The standout days are Sunday the 6th of September afternoon, Thursday the 10th of September all day, and Sunday the 13th of September afternoon. These are the ones to circle. Crowds are possible at Pea Break, so keep that in mind.
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.
