Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pea Break over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get stuck into this one. We’re looking at Pea Break, an advanced reef set-up. The water’s sitting at 67° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but a nice little bonus if you’re suited up. The outlook here is a bit of a mixed bag with a long wait for the good stuff.
The Overall Pattern
The start of the period is a write-off for decent surfing. The swell is up, but the wind is a real problem. We’ve got a solid 12ft to 13ft WSW swell coming in, but the wind is side-onshore or worse, blowing 12 to 28 mph. It’s just messy, choppy, and not worth the paddle out. The combined wave energy is massive, hitting 7350 (moderate) up to 10754 (strong), but the conditions are poor. This is a classic case of a lot of water moving around, but no quality to it.
The First Standout Window
The real hope comes on Wednesday morning, August 5th. The swell holds at 15ft from the WSW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a massive 10754 (strong). The wind switches to a light 6 mph onshore from the WNW. It’s not glassy, but it’s light enough that the reef should handle it and produce some clean, heaving lines. This is a big, powerful swell, so it’s strictly for experienced surfers – 15ft is too big for beginners. The long period will make the paddling out easier between sets, and the reef should hold the shape well. This is the best day of the whole window.
The Gap and the Promising Far-Out Call
After that Wednesday window, the wind turns gnarly again. Thursday through to the following Wednesday is a mash-up of strong cross-shore, onshore, and cross-onshore winds over 13ft to 18ft swell. The conditions are consistently poor, with a lot of chop and lumps. Not the time to get excited.
We skip forward to the far end of the forecast. On Saturday, August 15th, we see a serious pulse of 16ft to 18ft WSW swell with a period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 18583 (very strong). The wind is forecast to be from the NNW at 22 mph, blowing directly offshore. That’s a huge, powerful, top-to-bottom wave with clean offshore conditions. The caveat here is that it’s a long-range forecast, so it’s more of a promising idea than a guaranteed lock. But if it comes together, the reef will be handling a very long-period groundswell, which is a dream scenario for this spot. This is a heavy, expert-only wave.
The Final Verdict
If you’re an advanced surfer, your best bet is the early morning of Wednesday, August 5th. That’s the standout. Keep an eye on the far-out Saturday, August 15th, because that could be a session of the year if the wind holds. The rest of the next 16 days is a lot of swell and bad wind, so you’ll be waiting for those windows. The setup is more interesting for kite surfers during the rest of the period given the strength of the wind.
Stay patient. Rusty.

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.
