The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the menu for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
First thing’s first – we’ve got a significant gap at the start. There’s no surf worth paddling out for from Thursday 3rd right through to Saturday 5th September. The wind is howling onshore and the conditions are just plain poor. You’ll have to wait it out until Sunday 6th before anything even becomes marginal.
Sunday 6th September brings a bit of life back. The swell is a solid 13ft to 15ft from the SW with a period around 12–13 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (6764–8134). The wind is cross-offshore from the SSE, which will keep things clean, but at this size (over 8ft), this is strictly for experts only. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing shocking there.
Monday 7th September is a real highlight. The morning session is the best of the early run. We’ve got an 12ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the SE. That’s a classic setup for Pea Break – a reef break that loves a long-period SW swell. The combined energy is still strong (6435). The water temp anomaly is normal, so it’s just a comfortable, clean day. This is the standout for the first week. Be aware, it’s an advanced break and crowds are possible.
Tuesday 8th September is the absolute jewel of the entire forecast. The morning delivers a 13ft WSW swell with a 17-second period – that’s a very long, powerful groundswell. The combined energy is massive (8267), and the wind is a moderate offshore from the ESE, keeping it pristine. The afternoon session is even better with glassy conditions (NNW 5 km/h) and the same 13ft SW swell at 17 seconds. The energy jumps to 8914. This is a true expert session, and it’s the best surf on offer in the whole 16-day window. The long period at this size will make it a freight train at Pea Break – hold on tight.
After Tuesday, the quality drops. Wednesday 9th is still clean but the swell drops to 10ft, and the energy is lower (4749). Still worth a paddle for the advanced crew.
Thursday 10th and Friday 11th are a write-off. The wind turns onshore and messy, and the swell drops to 7ft. Not worth it.
Saturday 12th sees a 10–12ft WSW swell return, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s poor.
Sunday 13th is marginal. The swell is 10ft WSW with a 14-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore, creating small ripples. Not great, but you could find a clean one if you’re patient.
Monday 14th September offers another promising morning. A 10ft WSW groundswell with a 16-second period, combined with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW. The energy is very strong (6973). This is a solid, clean option for experts, and it’s the second-best session in the outlook.
The final few days from Tuesday 15th to Friday 18th September are a mixed bag. Tuesday morning is marginal with a light cross-on breeze, but Tuesday afternoon is clean with an 12ft SW swell. From Wednesday 16th onwards, the onshore winds return and the surf becomes poor again, so it’s a case of getting your best waves on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th.
Overall, if you’re an expert surfer, lock in Monday 7th morning and Tuesday 8th – that Tuesday is the undisputed king of the forecast. The long-period groundswell and glassy/offshore wind will make Pea Break a world-class wave. Just be ready for the power and the crowds.
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.
