Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Pea Break has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some absolute gems if you time it right.
We start off with a bit of a wait, but come Wednesday, July 8th, the surf is already pumping. The standout early on is Wednesday morning, July 8th. Pea Break is firing with a solid 12 ft swell out of the WSW. This is a long-period groundswell at 16 seconds, packing some serious energy. The wind is glassy, coming from the NE at just 3 mph, so the conditions will be absolutely perfect. Water temps are sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year. This is top-shelf stuff, but be warned – this is an advanced reef break, and 12 ft is too big for beginners.
Thursday, July 9th, sees the swell drop a touch but remains in the 8 ft to 10 ft range. The wind shifts to a cross-shore and cross-onshore, making for a choppier session. It’s not a total write-off, but the magic of Wednesday morning is gone.
Friday morning, July 10th brings a clean and tidy 7 ft SW swell with a cross-offshore Southerly breeze. The period is a shorter 13 seconds, so the energy is moderate, but the clean conditions make it a decent option that morning. The afternoon gets a bit windier.
Moving into the weekend, Saturday morning, July 11th, is a ripper – good clean 8 ft SW swell with light cross-offshore winds. The energy is still solid. This is a much more approachable size for advanced surfers who aren't looking for the heavy stuff.
Now, if you can wait, Sunday, July 12th is a cracker. Sunday morning is glassy again with a 10 ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds, and energy is right up there. It’s another one for the experienced crew. Sunday afternoon gets even bigger at 12 ft with a 17-second period, producing massive energy and clean cross-offshore winds. This is peak surf for the first week.
Monday, July 13th continues the run of good fortune. Another glassy morning with an 12 ft SW swell. Monday afternoon stays clean with a solid 10 ft. Tuesday, July 14th, is also an excellent option with a clean 10 ft SW groundswell and light offshore winds from the ENE in the afternoon.
Then things get ugly. Wednesday, July 15th, through Saturday, July 19th, is a write-off. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions with strong, lumpy onshore winds, rain, and even a near gale warning. The swell is all over the place and the wind is a mess. This is a solid 4-day gap you’ll want to sit out.
There is one very interesting, but extreme, event on Sunday, July 19th afternoon. The swell is predicted to be huge at 25 ft from the W, with a combined energy reading of 20680. The wind is a strong cross-shore. This is not for paddling; this is big-wave territory and likely only for jet skis or kite surfers. The forecast itself says it may be too big for the break. Leave this one be unless you are a true professional.
The surf cleans up again for the start of the next week. Monday, July 20th sees a massive 21 ft WSW swell with clean cross-offshore winds and plenty of energy. However, this is still well over 8 ft, so it’s experts only. Tuesday, July 21st keeps large swell but the wind turns onshore, making it messy. The final few days from July 22nd onwards look rough again with strong onshore winds and rain.
Best on offer: The absolute standout is Wednesday morning, July 8th for that perfect, glassy 12 ft groundswell. A close second is Sunday morning, July 12th for another dose of glassy perfection. For a more manageable but still high-quality session, Saturday morning, July 11th is your best bet.
Stay safe out there.

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.
