The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Pea Break. It’s a reef break for the advanced crew only, fairly consistent, so it’s got some personality. Water temp is about 66°F, pretty normal for the season.
We’ve got a slow start, but the first real standout is Tuesday morning, July 28th. Cloudy, but a light easterly breeze, cross-off, keeping it clean. You’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the southwest, with a long 14-second period – proper groundswell. The energy is very strong (3549), so expect some serious power. This is great for experienced surfers, but at that size, it’s too big for beginners. The afternoon goes glassy – wind from the southwest at just 3 mph, and the swell drops to 8ft but still clean. That Tuesday afternoon is a gem.
Wednesday the 29th starts to fade. Swell is still 8ft from the southwest, but the wind swings northeast and goes cross-shore, bringing a little chop. Still rideable, but not as good. Thursday the 30th is similar, with 6ft swell and cross-shore winds, marginal.
Friday the 31st is a washout. Onshore winds and stormy, don’t bother.
But hold on – Saturday, August 1st, is the standout of the whole window. Clear skies, and an offshore breeze from the east-southeast, first at 9 mph then dropping to 6 mph. The swell is pumping: 15ft in the morning, 13ft in the afternoon, both from the southwest with a 14-second period. The energy is exceptional (7567 and 6883). This is expert-only territory, way over 8ft, but the waves will be clean, powerful, and lined up. This is the day to be out there if you’ve got the skills.
Sunday the 2nd sees the swell backing off to 10ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and messy, so it’s a downgrade. Monday the 3rd is blown out with strong winds, and Tuesday the 4th is a total loss with near-gale onshore winds.
Then things get interesting, but dangerous. Wednesday, August 5th, the morning shows a massive 21ft swell from the west-southwest, but the wind is onshore. The energy is off the charts at 15564, but it’s a mess. The afternoon is worse. Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 11th are all dominated by huge, stormy swells and gale-force winds. This is pure chaos – not for surfing, but if you’re into kite surfing, the beach setup might be worth a look.
There is a tiny window of hope on Wednesday, August 12th. The wind goes cross-off from the south-southwest, and the swell is 6ft from the south-southwest with a 12-second period. It’s clean, but the energy is moderate (1731). The afternoon sees a short-period 12ft from the west at 8 seconds – that’s a windswell, choppy and not great.
So, the best on offer is the Tuesday afternoon glass-off, and the absolute standout is Saturday, August 1st. That’s your one. The rest is either too small, too windy, or way too big and dangerous. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a day like that Saturday, you’ll see the hardcore crew out.

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.
