Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
The first solid surf shows up on Friday the 10th, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag early on. We’ve got a solid SW groundswell running, with energy already into the four-figure range (2558), and the swell is 8 ft. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, which keeps things clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal. It’s an advanced reef break, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. This one is probably best left for the crew who know the lineup.
Saturday the 11th is when it starts to get interesting. The morning brings a 8 ft SW swell with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (2372). The wind is a clean cross-off from the south at 9 mph, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout window for the more skilled among you. Afternoon sees the swell bump to 10 ft, but the wind picks up to 12 mph, and the conditions get a bit more marginal.
Sunday the 12th is a bit of a wild card. The morning is 10 ft of SW swell with a 14-second period and a huge energy spike (4601), but the wind is straight cross-shore from the SW at 6 mph, which can make it a little tricky. The afternoon, however, is a real gem: 12 ft of SW swell, period jumping to 17 seconds, and the energy is massive (8181). The wind is a favourable cross-off, and the waves are clean. This is proper groundswell, and for a reef, that long period is pure quality. The best on offer so far, but it’s big – only for the confident.
Monday the 13th holds strong with 12 ft of SW swell, 16-second periods, and excellent conditions. The morning has a slight breeze from the south, and the afternoon is glassy clean with a light SSW breeze. The wave energy is still very high (6633 and 5824). This is another great day for experts.
Tuesday the 14th is surprisingly clean. The wind switches to a light ENE breeze, and the swell is still 10 ft from the SW, with a 15-second period. The conditions are excellent again. As the week goes on, the wind gets nasty from Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th. Strong onshore winds and rain ruin the surf, with scores dropping to zero. The swell is still there, but it’s a mess.
Now, hold on to your board shorts. The standout of the entire outlook is Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Saturday morning sees a 16 ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a clean cross-off S wind. The combined energy is absolutely massive (12254). The afternoon is even bigger: 20 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and energy of 13798. This is huge, powerful, and clean. It’s a monster, and only for the most experienced. Sunday the 19th is also a highlight, particularly the afternoon: the wind drops to glassy calm, the swell is 10 ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and the conditions are described as excellent. The energy is still strong (3066). That glassy afternoon session is a true treasure.
After that, the surf drops off and the wind turns onshore again from Monday the 20th through Tuesday the 21st, making it poor. Conditions improve again on Wednesday the 22nd with a clean 10 ft WSW swell and light offshore winds, and again on Friday the 24th with clean 7 ft SW swell. The very end of the run, on Saturday the 25th, shows a promising 12 ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period and light offshore winds – a great way to finish the outlook, but it’s a long way off.
So, the best on offer? Sunday the 12th afternoon for the pure power and quality, and the glassy session on Sunday the 19th afternoon. The big one on Saturday the 18th is for the hardcore crew only. Stay sharp, and pick 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.
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.
