The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here.

Alright, let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, with some proper swell windows bookended by windy, lumpy chaos. There’s a run of clean, offshore conditions coming up right at the start, then we’ve got a bit of a grovel, followed by a proper pulse of west swell that gets messy before a serious, standout day arrives way out at the end of the window. Hang on to your board, because we’re in for a ride.

Thursday afternoon, August 27, kicks things off at Pea Break (Big Island) . We’ve got a solid 11.5ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and even though the wind is a fresh SSE offshore at 22 mph, it’s clean. The energy is strong (5472) and the water’s sitting at 64.6°, which is about 1.4° warmer than normal for this time of year – pretty standard. It’s an advanced reef break, and with that size and power, it’s got a proper push to it. Crowds are possible, so pick your moment.

Friday morning, August 28 is the pick of this early window. The swell drops a touch to 7.5ft, still out of the SW, with a 12-second period. The wind swings SE at 16 mph, again offshore, and it’s clean. This is excellent, proper surf for those who know what they’re doing. Friday afternoon eases to 5.9ft but stays clean, very good conditions.

Saturday, August 29, the swell builds and the period jumps. Morning sees 6.6ft at 16 seconds, with a light E cross-offshore breeze. It’s clean, but the long period might make it a bit straight at the beach. The afternoon, though, has a bigger 9.8ft on the same long period, and the energy ticks up to 4536. That’s a lot of water moving.

Sunday, August 30, is where things start to get tricky. The swell holds at 9.8ft, but the direction shifts more WSW and the period stretches out to 17 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. Morning wind is a NE cross-shore at 12 mph, which leaves it a bit lumpy. The afternoon wind drops to a light NNW onshore at 6 mph, which cleans it up but puts a bit of mush on the face. Energy is strong (6043 in the morning). It’s okay, but not the cleanest.

Then we hit the wall. Monday, August 31 and Tuesday, September 1 are poor. The wind swings W and WSW, blowing cross-onshore at 19-22 mph, and the swell gets messy and lumpy. Scores drop to zero. This is a write-off.

Wednesday, September 2 is more of the same – onshore W wind, rain, lumpy, nasty conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday morning, September 3 is a big one. The swell jumps to 13.1ft out of the SW with a 14-second period. The wind is a slight S cross-offshore at 3 mph, making it nearly glassy. That’s a proper, powerful, clean wave. The energy is huge at 5705. This is for experienced surfers only – that size is heavy. It’s a standout, but it’s a serious one. The afternoon sees the wind go WNW cross-onshore and it deteriorates into a choppy mess.

Friday, September 4 is a no-go. Onshore N and NW winds, rain, and a storm risk. Choppy and poor.

Saturday, September 5 is wild. We’ve got a gale-force WSW wind at 43 mph in the morning, and the sea will be a washing machine. Swell is 9.8-13.1ft, but with that wind, it’s pure chaos. This is not a surfing day – if anything, it’s more of a kitesurfing day.

Sunday, September 6 sees the wind settle and the swell ease to a clean 7.2ft out of the SSW with a 12-second period. Morning has a cross-offshore wind, and it cleans up nicely. It’s a good, solid, workable wave. The afternoon gets a bit

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.
