The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let’s get straight into it because we’ve got a long, wild ride ahead for Pea Break. This is a shallow, advanced reef set-up that is fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s going to be absolutely pumping for a few windows, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so there’s a touch of extra warmth in the water.

The forecast kicks off on Wednesday morning, 26 August, with a solid 15ft groundswell from the WSW at an 18-second period. The combined swell energy is very strong (13576). The catch? The wind is a cross-shore 12 mph from the SW, which is creating a messy cross-chop. Not ideal for a wave this size; it’s going to be a bumpy, challenging paddle. The same 15ft swell holds into the afternoon with a cleaner cross-off breeze from the SSE at 16 mph, but the period drops to 17 seconds. It’s big and a bit unruly.

Come Thursday, 27 August, the swell drops to 13ft in the morning with a 15-second period, but the wind cranks up to 22 mph from the SSE – still cross-off but that’s a fresh breeze. Wave energy is moderate (6486), but the conditions are sketchy. The afternoon is similar with 12ft swell. Not the best.

Now Friday, 28 August, brings a real highlight. We’ve got clean, offshore winds from the SE at 16 mph in the morning. The swell is still a solid 8ft from the SW with a 12-second period. This is a standout session—the combined energy is moderate (1535), but those offshore winds are going to groom this reef into some beautiful, clean lines. The afternoon drops to 6ft but stays offshore, making for a fun, smaller session.

Saturday, 29 August, sees a shift. The wind swings to a cross-off from the E, 16 mph in the morning with a 6ft swell at 16 seconds. The afternoon improves with a lighter 9 mph breeze and a bigger 8ft swell at 17 seconds (combined energy 4393). It’s clean, but the crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company.

Sunday, 30 August, is a write-off for paddle surfing. The wind is cross-shore and then onshore, messy. Monday, 31 August, isn’t much better with cross-onshore winds and a choppy surface.

We hit a rough patch from Tuesday, 1 September, through to Thursday, 3 September. Onshore winds and lumpy conditions dominate. For a few days, the setup looks more interesting for kite-surfing than paddle surfing.

But hold onto your board, because Thursday, 3 September, morning is a standout for the books. Glassy conditions – wind is virtually calm at 3 mph from the NNE. The swell is a thumping 13ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is very strong (6137). This is a heavy, advanced-only wave. It’s going to be flawless. The afternoon stays 12ft with lighter winds. If you’re an expert, this is your window.

Friday, 4 September, is still surfable but not as clean. Then we get another gem on Saturday, 5 September. Morning is dead calm – glassy – with a 7ft swell from the WSW at 13 seconds. That’s a magic, clean window for more advanced crew.

After that, the week rolls into smaller 6ft days before the forecast drops an absolute bomb on Monday, 7 September. The swell jumps to an enormous 23ft from the WSW at 19 seconds. The combined swell energy is through the roof (31923). Yes, the wind is clean, cross-off from the south, but this is dangerously big. The forecast says this break is predicted to be too big – only for absolute experts, and even then, be careful.

Tuesday, 8 September, remains huge at 18ft but with onshore wind – that’s a no-go. The rest of the second week sees the swell drop back to 10ft and 15ft range, with a nice window on Thursday, 10 September. Morning has a 15ft WSW groundswell at 18 seconds (combined energy 13367) with light, clean cross-off winds, and the afternoon holds 16ft with the same quality. That’s another standout for the experts – promising, but more than a week out so less certain.

Overall, your best bets are Friday 28 August for a clean, solid day, and Thursday 3 September for glassy, heavy reef perfection.

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.
