The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming our way, but it’s a game for the experienced crew. The standout is Pea Break, a reef setup that’s advanced-only and fairly consistent. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a steamer is your call.

The action kicks off Wednesday, August 26th. A big, powerful, long-period groundswell arrives from the WSW, with wave heights pushing 15 ft to 16 ft and a combined energy reading of over 13,000 (strong). That’s a serious amount of water moving. The wind is tricky—cross-shore in the morning and cross-off in the afternoon—so it’s not perfect, but for a wave that size, it’s rideable. This is for experts only; beginners should stay well clear.

Thursday, August 27th sees the swell still pumping at 12 ft to 13 ft. The wind cleans up into the afternoon, turning fresh offshore from the SSE, which makes for some clean, powerful lines. The energy is still high, between 5,000 and 6,500 (moderate-strong). The period is long, so expect those long, waiting sets.

Friday, August 28th, the swell drops back to a more manageable 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is offshore and clean all day. The energy is dropping to around 1,000-1,300 (moderate). It’s still a fun wave, but the magic is fading.

Now, Saturday, August 29th is when it gets interesting. The morning is clean and cross-off, but the afternoon is the real deal. Swell jumps back up to 10 ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the wind goes light and cross-off from the east. The energy is back up to 4,600 (moderate-strong). This is a top pick for the week—a solid, clean groundswell for experienced surfers.

Sunday, August 30th holds the 10 ft swell, but the wind goes cross-shore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. It’s a bit messy. Monday, August 31st is a write-off with poor conditions.

We get a bit of a lull mid-week, with wind and swell not lining up perfectly. The combined energy for Pea Break stays moderate (around 3,500-5,600) but the wind is often cross or cross-on.

Then, look ahead to Friday, September 4th. The morning is a beauty: light offshore winds from the SSE, 8 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is 2,500 (moderate). That’s a morning session worth chasing.

The real standout for the whole period, though, is Monday, September 7th. The afternoon sees a 12 ft groundswell from the WSW, but the wind drops to glassy—a dead calm. The combined energy is 5,700 (moderate-strong). This is the kind of day you take off work for. Perfect, smooth, powerful waves. It’s still an advanced break, but if the tide is right, this will be the session of the 16-day window.

Tuesday, September 8th stays big at 12 ft, but the wind picks up cross-shore, so it’s not as clean. The energy is massive, hitting 7,600 (strong), but the chop will make it a battle.

There’s a gap of quiet, smaller surf after that, with the period stretching out to 19 seconds on Thursday, September 10th, creating a long, lully groundswell. That kind of period is best on a reef like Pea Break, but it’s a 7 ft wave, so it’s not the bomb.

The overall vibe: if you’re an expert, the first week is a big-wave playground, and September 7th is the session to circle. Crowds are possible at Pea Break, so get there early.

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.

Pea Break is 72 km (45 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
