Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way. The first few days are looking proper for those who know what they’re doing. The standout in this whole stretch is Pea Break, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent and fairly exposed to the swell. The water is sitting at 67°F to start, which is about normal for this time of year.

We kick off this Monday morning, July 6, with clean surf at 12ft from the WSW. That’s a groundswell with a 15-second period, packing a massive energy punch (5074). The wind is offshore from the SE at 16 mph, keeping things clean. This is a big, powerful wave – over 8ft, so it’s for the advanced crew only. The afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore, still 12ft and 15 seconds. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes open.

Tuesday, July 7, is another cracker. Morning has an 12ft SW groundswell (16 seconds, energy 5998) with a light ESE breeze that’s cross-offshore. Clean as a whistle. Afternoon drops a touch to 10ft, but still clean and solid. This is quality, powerful surf.

Wednesday, July 8, starts a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, but the afternoon turns glassy. Still 12ft of WSW swell, period 15 seconds. That glassy window is a gem if you can get on it.

Thursday, July 9, we’re on the downslope. The wind picks up from the W at 12 mph, cross-onshore, making it choppy with 10ft swell. Afternoon gets worse with rain showers and a cross-shore chop. Not great.

Friday, July 10, is a write-off with moderate cross-shore winds and the swell dropping to 5ft by the afternoon. Energy is down to 946 – weak.

Saturday, July 11, brings a solid pulse back. 13ft of SW swell (14 seconds) with a clean cross-offshore wind. That’s a big one, energy is 5889. Still for experts only. The swell stays big and clean through Sunday, July 12.

Now, Sunday, July 12, is the absolute peak of the whole forecast. The morning shows an 12ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 10959. That’s as good as it gets for a reef break like this. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is your best session of the entire outlook. The afternoon is still solid but the energy drops.

Monday, July 13, stays clean with 10ft SW swell, 17 seconds. Still excellent.

Tuesday, July 14, delivers another glassy afternoon. 10ft SW swell, 15 seconds, and the wind is dead calm. Perfect.

After that, things get messy. Wednesday, July 15, through Thursday, July 16, are blown out with strong onshore winds. Skip it.

Friday, July 17, shows a brief glimmer – a glassy morning with 10ft WSW swell, 14 seconds. That’s a window for the dedicated.

The weekend of July 18-19 is mostly blown out with fresh winds, dropping swell down to 5ft by Sunday afternoon. Energy is weak.

Monday, July 20, shows a clean 8ft SW swell (17 seconds) in the afternoon, energy 4085. That’s a decent one if you’re patient.

The last standout comes on Tuesday, July 21. The afternoon goes glassy again with an 8ft WSW swell. That’s a clean, fun session to end the run.

So, overall, the best on offer is the morning of Sunday, July 12, with that massive, long-period SW groundswell and clean conditions. The second best is the glassy afternoon of Tuesday, July 14. Get out there if you’re an experienced surfer and can handle the heavy stuff.

Rusty.
