The Lowdown
Alright, gang, Rusty here, breaking down the next couple of weeks at Pea Break. It’s a south-west swell machine, but it’s got its moods.
We start Monday, July 27th, with a solid 12ft south-west swell rolling in. The period is a clean 12 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 3588 (moderate to strong). The water is sitting at 66°, which is a degree warmer than normal, so that’s a nice little bonus. The wind is a cross-off from the south at 12 mph, which keeps it rideable, but you’ll be fighting a bit of texture. This is advanced territory, and the crowds are a “sometimes” thing, so you might have some company. Monday afternoon is similar, dropping a touch to 10ft.
Tuesday, July 28th, is where it starts to clean up. The wind swings light easterly at 6 mph, still cross-off, with the swell dropping to 10ft but the period stretching out to a lovely 14 seconds. The energy is still strong at 3549. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Tuesday afternoon holds at 8ft with the same 14-second period and a light south-west cross-off. This is the best the early part of the week has to offer.
Then we hit a lull. Wednesday and Thursday, July 29th and 30th, see the swell dropping from 8ft to 6ft with a north-east wind that brings in some cross-chop. The energy drops to around 1825-2151 (moderate). It’s marginal, but still doable for the keen.
Friday, July 31st, is a write-off. The swell jumps back to 12ft, but a strong north-west wind slams it onshore at 19-22 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out wall. The energy is huge at 7521, but it’s a no-go for paddling. Save your energy.
Now, here’s the standout. Saturday, August 1st, looks absolutely pumping. The swell is a solid 16ft from the south-west with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is massive at 10557 (strong). The wind goes offshore from the south-south-east at 16 mph, which is a major plus. Saturday afternoon is even cleaner with the same 16ft swell and a fresh offshore breeze. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers only. At over 8ft, this is not for beginners. The long period also means it’s a bit of a freight train, best handled by the experienced crew.
Sunday, August 2nd, is still solid with an 12ft swell, but the wind turns cross-off again. Clean, but not as pristine as Saturday. Monday, August 3rd, is a nice drop-off with a 7ft clean swell and light offshore winds.
The next real highlight is Tuesday, August 4th. We’ve got an 12ft south-west swell with a very long 17-second period. The energy is 6388 (strong). The wind is a light cross-off, making it clean. That long period will hold up well at Pea Break, a reef setup, so expect some proper, powerful lines with long lulls between sets.
Wednesday, August 5th, is another blown-out day. The wind is howling onshore from the north-west at 25-28 mph, making it dangerous. The energy is high, but it’s a mess.
Thursday, August 6th, is a beauty. The swell is 12ft from the west-south-west, and the wind goes glassy. It doesn’t get much better than that for clean conditions. The period is 15 seconds, so it’s got plenty of punch.
The next two weeks look like a mixed bag. We’ve got another big swell event building for Tuesday, August 11th, with an 18ft south-west swell and a 17-second period. The energy is off the charts at 16490 (very strong). The wind is offshore from the south-south-east, which is a dream scenario for a reef break. This is another one for the experts only. It’s a long way out, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
The rest of the second week is a mix of solid 10-13ft south-west swells, but the wind is often a problem, with periods of strong onshore winds and rain. The 8th and 9th of August have some cross-off wind, but it’s a bit of a battle.
So, to sum it up: the two true standouts are Saturday, August 1st and Tuesday, August 11th. Both are big, powerful groundswells hitting Pea Break with offshore winds. If you’re an expert looking for a session, those are the days to circle. The 6th of August is also a gem with glassy conditions. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but the signs are good.
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.
