The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pea Break. This is a reef setup that takes a good south-west swell, and it's an advanced spot only. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is just a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so not a big deal, but it's a nice start.
The first decent chance to get in the water is this Friday afternoon—14 August. It’s looking clean with glassy conditions, a 10 ft south-west swell with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is strong at 4402. This is serious groundswell, and it’s going to be a proper test for experienced surfers only. The wind is glassy from the NW at just 3 mph, so the surface will be smooth. You’ll want to be on it, but be aware it can get a bit crowded here sometimes.
After that, we’ve got a big gap. The swell kicks up, but the wind turns nasty. From Saturday the 15th right through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s cross-on and strong, with the swell getting huge—up to 16 ft on Monday the 17th with a near gale. That’s a complete write-off for a paddle board. If you’re into kites, maybe, but not for surfing.
Wednesday the 19th afternoon is the next real standout. The wind swings cleanly cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, and you’ve got a 15 ft south-west swell with a 15-second period. The combined energy is a massive 8888. This is for the experts only, and it’s going to be a serious session. The conditions are clean, but the size is well over 8 ft, so it’s expert-only territory.
Thursday the 20th morning is a bit of a tease. The swell is still 13 ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is light cross-on from the NNW at 3 mph. It’s not clean, but it’s not blown out either. The afternoon looks better, with glassy conditions and an 12 ft swell. Again, solid and not for the faint-hearted.
Friday the 21st morning has a clean cross-off wind from the ESE at 6 mph and a 10 ft swell from the south-west. The period is 14 seconds, so there’s a lot of energy in the water. It’s a better option than the lunchtime slot, which gets a bit more wind.
The following week is a mixed bag. There’s a window on Tuesday the 25th where the wind is clean cross-off from the SSW, but the swell is 16 ft in the morning and 15 ft in the afternoon. The combined energy is through the roof—14197 in the morning. This is a monster, and it’s only for the most experienced. The wind is a fresh breeze, but it’s clean, so the face will be workable.
The last few days of the forecast get messy again. By the 28th and 29th, the wind is onshore and the swell is big, but the conditions are not clean. It’s a bit of a gamble.
Overall, the standout sessions are this Friday afternoon the 14th, and then Wednesday the 19th afternoon. Both are heavy, clean, and for experts only. If you’re up for it, you’ll score.

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.
