The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Pea Break.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a huge deal, but it’s a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out.
We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the horizon, and the real standout is going to be the morning of Thursday the 13th. Pea Break is a reef setup, so it handles that direction well. The swell is a solid 13ft out of the SW with a 16-second period, which is a long-period groundswell. That deepwater energy is pumping in at a combined energy of 7979, which is strong. Winds are glassy from the NNE, so it’s going to be clean. This is advanced territory only – 13ft is big, not for the faint of heart. Crowds are possible, but with that size, it’ll thin out the pack.
The afternoon of the 13th holds up nicely too. Still 13ft, period stretching to 17 seconds, and the wind goes light and cross-off from the SW, keeping it clean. That’s a long afternoon session in the making.
Thursday the 20th is worth a mention. The swell is 13ft out of the WSW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is 8627 – strong. The wind is light and cross-on from the WNW, so it’s not perfect, but still manageable for the experienced crew.
Now, if you’re looking further out, Tuesday the 18th morning is a proper sleeper. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the swell is 16ft out of the WSW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 12449. That’s big, powerful, and clean. Only for experts, and it’s still a week away, so keep an eye on it.
Monday the 24th morning brings a 18ft swell from the WSW with an 18-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy is 17935 – that’s huge energy. The wind is moderate cross-shore from the WSW, which will put some chop on it, but for the right surfer, the power will be there.
There’s a pretty big gap in the middle of the outlook. From the 15th through the 17th, it’s messy, windy, and not worth your time. The 19th is a write-off too. You’ll want to pick your days carefully.
So, the best of the best? Thursday the 13th morning, glassy, big, and clean. And Tuesday the 18th morning, if the long-range forecast holds, could be an absolute gem.
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.
