The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Pea Break. Got a bunch of swell on the way, but the wind is gonna be the deciding factor for the first week.
Water temp is a bit warmer than average for now, holding steady around 65°F.
The big stuff kicks off Wednesday morning with a solid 12ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds. The energy is huge (3971), but it’s a complete mess. Onshore wind at 16 mph from the SSW is blowing the tops off. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. It cleans up to a cross-off in the afternoon, but it’s still only marginal.
Thursday is a total loss. Onshore winds from the NW and WNW with the same big 12ft swell. Just ugly.
Friday the 4th of September is where we get our first real chance. The swell jumps to a massive 16ft from the WSW. That’s heavy, expert-only. The morning has a fresh cross-shore wind, making it lumpy and dangerous. But Friday afternoon... the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-onshore. The waves are still 16ft, the energy is through the roof (10663). This is for the big-wave specialists only, but the conditions will be just about manageable.
Saturday the 5th of September is a write-off with gale-force winds.
Then, Sunday the 6th of September morning. That’s your standout. The swell is a still-powerful 16ft from the SW, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the S at 22 mph. The energy is the highest of the entire run at 14749. That’s going to produce huge, clean, powerful barrels. For experts, this is the session of the window. The afternoon drops to 10ft at a longer 17 seconds, still fun, but the morning is the prize.
Monday the 7th of September morning is another absolute beauty. 12ft SW swell at a very long 16 seconds. Wind is a light 6 mph cross-off. That’s exceptional. Long, clean, powerful lines. The morning is the standout.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning is just as good. 12ft from the WSW at 17 seconds, with a light 6 mph cross-off. If you can only surf one day, make it Monday or Tuesday.
The second week sees the swell drop but stay fun. The 13th of September you get a glassy 10ft SW swell at 14 seconds – perfect for experienced surfers. The 15th of September is another glassy morning with 10ft SW waves. And the 16th of September has a 12ft SW swell at a very long 18 seconds, with just a light cross-shore wind.
No massive size in the second week, just clean, long-period groundswell. For the best sessions, you’re looking at Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and Tuesday the 8th of September.

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.
