The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks at Pea Break.
The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a proper standout coming mid-week. Right now, Monday the 20th is a write-off. We’ve got a 8ft SW swell and a 7ft SW swell later, but the wind is a cross-onshore mess, making it choppy and poor. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday the 21st is a step in the right direction. The wind swings to a cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The swell holds around 8ft to 8ft from the SW with a moderate period (12-13 seconds). The wave energy is pumping (2121-2154), but it’s still a bit raw and considered marginal. It’s surfable, but not the best of the window.
Now, Wednesday the 22nd is the real standout. This is big. We’ve got an 12ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds rolling in overnight, and the wind goes glassy offshore from the ESE. The combined energy is massive (8002 in the morning, 4430 in the afternoon). This is proper, expert-level surf. The reef at Pea Break will handle this long-period energy beautifully, offering up clean, powerful lines. The morning is rated exceptional for experts, and the afternoon is excellent for experienced surfers. This is the day to clear your schedule, but only if you’ve got the skills – 12ft is too big for beginners.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th see the swell drop back to 8ft and then 5ft, with winds becoming cross-shore. The energy is still moderate (2261 and 852), but the quality drops. It’s not bad, just not as special as Wednesday.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a mess. Strong onshore winds and a lumpy, rising swell (up to 15ft) make for poor, dangerous conditions. Steer clear.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offer a reprieve. The swell settles to 13ft and then 8ft, and winds turn clean again – cross-off and even glassy. The morning of the 28th is particularly nice with a light offshore breeze and 8ft SW swell. The wave energy is solid (1916-2050). This is a good second option for experienced surfers, but the water will still be a bit of a handful.
The end of the week (Wednesday the 29th to Thursday the 30th) sees the swell drop to 6ft and then 4ft. The 29th has glassy conditions and a 6ft SW swell with a 15-second period – that’s a clean, fun day for intermediate and above. The combined energy is moderate (1485-1968). Things get weak on the 30th.
The first week of August looks uncertain. The 31st and 1st are blown out by strong north winds. The 2nd has a bigger 8ft-8ft WSW swell, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore, keeping it clean but bumpy. The real hope for the second week is Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got an 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and a light offshore wind from the SSE. The energy is strong (2349) and the conditions are clean. It’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is a solid second standout, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to get excited about.
This is a classic case of waiting for the right day. The 22nd is the one to aim for.
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.
