The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down Pea Break. This is a reef wave for advanced crew only, and it’s fairly consistent, but we’ve got a rough stretch before anything really shines. Water temp is about 19°, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for now, which is nice.
The start is grim. Friday the 17th you’ve got 2ft of weak cross-onshore slop with a moderate breeze – don’t bother. Saturday the 18th is full-on ugly: a 16ft messy swell with howling cross-onshore wind. That’s expert-level chaos and no fun. Sunday the 19th is where we get our first real window. The morning is still rough with a 10ft cross-shore chop, but Sunday afternoon turns it around. You’ll find a 10ft WSW swell with a 13-second period, gentle cross-off wind, and clean faces. That’s excellent for the experienced crew, and the energy is solid.
Monday the 20th is a step back with light onshore wind. But Tuesday the 21st is the genuine standout of the first week. Clear skies, an 8ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, and offshore SSE wind. That’s gentle offshore and clean, with strong energy. This is your best bet for a clean, powerful session. Wednesday the 22nd keeps it going with a 10ft SW swell and clean conditions. Thursday the 23rd afternoon goes glassy with a 8ft SW swell – a real dark horse session.
Second week is messy. Saturday the 25th is marginal at 6ft to 8ft, and Sunday the 26th brings a long-period 5ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Then from the 27th to the 31st of July, it’s a stormy mess – swells from 12ft to 16ft, but all trashed by strong winds. That’s kite-surf stuff mostly.
The real long-range standout is Saturday the 1st of August morning. A huge 23ft WSW groundswell, 15-second period, cross-off wind, and clean. The energy is insane. That’s a rare, dangerous, expert-only beast. It’s far out, so take it as a promising possibility, but if it delivers, it’ll be massive.

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.
