The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Pea Break has in store.

For the next couple of weeks, it's all about a consistent run of solid groundswell, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor on whether you have a good day or a frustrating one. The water's sitting around 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the 5/4 at home.

The ball gets rolling on Wednesday the 19th, but it's a tricky start. There's a big 15ft swell from the WSW with a very long 15-second period, packing a ton of energy. The problem is a stiff cross-shore breeze, which is going to put a chop on the face. It'll be a battle. Wednesday afternoon is more of the same, still a solid 15ft and 16 seconds, but that cross-shore wind is still there.

Thursday the 20th is better. The swell drops to a more manageable 12ft, still with a long 16-second period. The morning is still a bit messy, but the afternoon is the real deal. The wind goes clean cross-offshore from the SSW, and the conditions are dialed for experienced surfers. That 12ft of clean, long-period SW groundswell is going to be firing.

But the true standout in this first block is Friday the 21st. The swell holds at a solid 12ft, but the morning wind is a glassy 3 mph from the ENE. Dead flat. It's going to be as clean as it gets. The afternoon stays just as good with a light cross-offshore breeze. This is your day. The wave energy is still massive, and this reef loves a south-west swell.

Saturday the 22nd is still worth a look. The swell is a bit smaller at 10ft, and the wind is cross-off, though it picks up in the afternoon, making it a bit more of a handful. Sunday the 23rd is similar, with good size but stronger winds making for lumpy conditions.

Things go downhill from Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th. The swell drops, and the wind turns onshore or gets sloppy. Save your energy.

Now, looking ahead to the end of the month, we've got a couple of huge days. Wednesday the 26th of August is a proper big-wave day. You're looking at a massive 15ft WSW swell with a very long 16-second period, and the energy numbers are off the charts. The wind is a clean cross-offshore. This is for experts only. At that size, it's dangerous for anyone who isn't dialed in at this reef. For the crew who are, it will be the session of the trip.

Thursday the 27th is also excellent, just a step down in size. A still-chunky 12ft swell with a clean offshore wind from the SE. The combination of power and clean conditions will make for some beautiful, long rides.

After that, the swell fades. There's another big pulse around the 3rd of September, with 15ft swell, but the wind is onshore and messy, chopping it all up. That one is more for the kite surfers than the paddle crowd.

So, to boil it down: Friday the 21st of August is your best bet for the overall package of size and perfect conditions. If you want the biggest, most powerful, and still clean surf, you need to be in the water on Wednesday the 26th of August, but only if you've got the experience for it.

Rusty.

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.
