The Lowdown
Alright fellas, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and knots for those who think that way. Pea Break is our sole focus, a tricky reef that keeps you honest. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 66°F.
We kick off with a bit of a dud. Sunday the 23rd has chest-high plus swell, around 8ft from the SW, but the cross-offshore wind makes for a messy, uninviting surf. Not one to get out of bed for.
Monday the 24th is worse. Onshore winds shred any chance of a decent wave. Tuesday the 25th is a complete washout.
But hold up. Wednesday the 26th looks like the big one. A very long period groundswell (18 seconds) from the WSW rolls in at a solid 16ft. It’s pumping. The wind is light cross-offshore. This is for experts only. The long period means those waves will be powerful and hold their shape on the reef.
Thursday the 27th keeps the size at around 11ft of SW groundswell with the wind shifting offshore from the SE, giving you clean, rippable faces for the experienced crew.
Friday the 28th is smaller, around 6-7ft from the SW, clean but less grunt. Saturday the 29th afternoon is a real gem. The swell bumps back up to 10ft from the SW (16-second period) and the wind goes glassy. Dead flat, perfect conditions. This is your pick for the week.
After that, it’s a wasteland of onshore wind and lumpy, messy surf until a couple of monster pulses hit early September.
Sunday the 6th of September afternoon sees a massive 20ft swell from the SW, but with a short 12-second period. It’s a dangerous, jumbled mess.
The biggest of the whole outlook is Monday the 7th of September: a 23ft monster from the WSW with a 17-second period. The energy is off the charts, but the notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break. This one is strictly for those who know its limits.
So, for the best on offer: Wednesday the 26th is the standout of the reliable period, but for a truly epic session that’s still within reason, lock in Saturday the 29th afternoon when the wind goes glassy and the swell is a solid 10ft.
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.
