The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Pea Break.
The forecast kicks off with a solid pulse of swell right from the start, but it’s a real mixed bag of quality. We’ve got a massive, powerful groundswell hitting, but the wind is gonna be the main character for a lot of the first week. The real standout, the absolute best of the whole run, is a very specific window on Saturday, August 8th. The swell is huge, but the wind goes clean, and that’s the only time we see a perfect score. Most of the other days are a battle with onshore or cross-shore winds that make it messy.
Saturday morning, August 1st, we’re looking at a 13 ft SW swell (14 sec period) with a cross-off wind. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 67° (anomaly 3°). It’s rideable, but not classic. Saturday afternoon picks up to 15 ft and the period hits 15 seconds, but it’s still cross-off.
Sunday, August 2nd, the swell drops to 10 ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and the period drops to 13 seconds. It’s not the cleanest. Monday, August 3rd, is a total write-off with a fresh onshore wind and a 6 ft swell. Tuesday and Wednesday, the 4th and 5th, are heavy with wind. The swell is big, 12 ft to 16 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it rough. Thursday, the 6th, and Friday, the 7th, are terrible with strong winds making it a mess.
Then we get to the highlight. Saturday, August 8th. The morning is a total no-go with a near gale cross-shore wind and a 21 ft swell. But the afternoon is where it all comes together. The wind switches to a clean cross-off, and the swell is absolute giant territory at 28 ft from the WSW (14 sec period). The combined energy is a massive 26825. This is a big, powerful, clean wave. However, at this size, it’s strictly for experts only. This is a heavy, serious reef break.
Sunday, August 9th, the swell is still massive at 25 ft and 21 ft, but the wind goes back to cross-onshore, so it loses that perfect clean look. Still huge, but not as good.
Monday, August 10th, the wind is strong and messy again, so we skip it. Tuesday, August 11th, we get a nice reprieve. The swell drops to 13 ft with a 16 second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the south. This is the second best window. It’s a classic, clean, long-period groundswell. The energy is 7370, a nice moderate-to-strong pulse. Perfect for this reef.
Wednesday, August 12th, the swell drops to 8 ft and the wind goes cross-shore. It’s calmer but less exciting. Thursday, August 13th, the swell picks up again to 12 ft with a very long 19 second period from the SW (energy 13112). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean, but the energy is impressive. Friday, August 14th, is similar with a 10 ft swell.
Saturday, August 15th, the wind turns onshore again, making it poor. The final highlight is Sunday, August 16th. The swell is 18 ft from the WSW (16 sec period) with a clean cross-off wind in the morning. The energy is 15573. This is a great, powerful, clean swell to finish the forecast period. It’s big, but with the right wind, it’s a proper session.
Keep in mind, Pea Break is an advanced reef, and the crowds can be a factor sometimes. This is a spot that needs respect.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
