The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off with a whole lot of nothing good. Pea Break is getting hammered right out of the gate. Monday and Tuesday are pure write-offs with howling cross-onshore winds and massive, messy swell. It’s not just paddle surfing that looks rough here – with this kind of wind and wave energy, it’s looking a lot more like a kite surfer’s playground than a place for a traditional surf. There’s a big gap of poor conditions before we finally get a window of clean waves.
The first real chance comes on Friday, August 21. The morning is looking glassy with a light wind and a solid 10ft groundswell from the SW, with a period of 14 seconds. The combined swell energy is strong at 4363. This is proper, powerful swell, and with glassy conditions, the reef at Pea Break should be offering up some clean, heavy lines. That said, 10ft is big, so this is strictly for advanced surfers. The water temp is at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Saturday morning, August 22, is another standout. Dead calm, glassy conditions again, with another 10ft SW groundswell rolling in. The energy is still pumping at 4181, and clean conditions will make the big swell feel a touch more manageable. You’ll want to be on it early. It does get a bit smaller and cleaner again on the Saturday afternoon, with 8ft and a light cross-off.
The following Tuesday, August 25, has another very clean morning with no wind and 10ft from the SW, but the period drops to 11 seconds. It’s still good, but not quite the same quality as the previous days.
If you’re locked in for the long game, Thursday, August 27 looks promising. Glassy in the morning with a 8ft SW groundswell and a period of 15 seconds – that’s a very long period, meaning the waves will have real punch and shape. It cleans up further by the afternoon with a light cross-off. The combined energy is moderate at 2351-2590, so it will be more user-friendly than the 10ft days.
Don’t get too excited about anything after that. The end of August slides back into onshore slop and big winds. The real highlights are definitely that Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd – those are your sessions.
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.
