The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and what a mixed bag we’ve got coming up over the next couple of weeks. This is one of those periods where you’ve gotta be patient and pick your moments. The first few days look promising, but then things get messy and oversized for a stretch, before maybe offering a few windows again later. The water temps are sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.

Let’s start with the good stuff. Thursday the 20th is the first chance to get in the water. The morning’s a bit messy with a cross-shore wind and some chop, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. Pea Break is a reef setup, fairly exposed, and by Thursday afternoon you’ve got a solid 12 ft swell from the WSW, rolling in at a very long 16 seconds. That’s pure groundswell, packing a massive amount of energy. The wind goes cross-offshore, and the conditions clean right up. This is solid, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. It’s big, it’s long-period, and it’s gonna be demanding.

Friday the 21st is the real standout. The morning is an absolute ripper. An 12 ft swell from the SW, 14-second period, and the wind is glassy. That’s right, glassy. From the east at just 3 mph. It doesn’t get much better than that for a reef break. The energy is still huge, and the conditions will be pristine. Friday afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, making it another solid session. Saturday the 22nd morning is still clean, with a 10 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but the wind picks up later in the day, and the swell starts to dip.

Now, from Sunday the 23rd through to the 25th, things get a bit average. The swell hangs around, but the wind turns onshore or cross-off, and the quality drops. By Tuesday the 25th, we’ve got poor conditions with onshore winds and a messy state. Give it a miss.

Then Wednesday the 26th rolls in, and it’s a whole different story. The swell jumps to 15 ft from the WSW, with a 16-17 second period. The energy is absolutely pumping. That’s strong, serious power. The morning has some cross-chop, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze. This is only for the most experienced, confident surfers. It’s dangerous, heavy, and not for the faint-hearted.

From Thursday the 27th through to the 2nd of September, the wind is the story. It’s howling. Strong breeze, near gale, and onshore or cross-onshore winds dominate. The swell remains big, but it’s a mess. The 27th has 28 mph winds, and it only gets worse. The 31st of August and 1st of September see 13 ft to 16 ft swells, but with cross-onshore winds and short period. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. The 2nd of September is still blown out with strong cross-onshore winds.

The 3rd of September brings another massive pulse of 15 ft swell from the WSW, with huge energy, but the wind is a strong onshore cross. It’s gonna be a wild, lumpy mess. The 4th of September, the last day in the window, has a 13 ft SW swell, 15-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore with lumpy chop. Still marginal.

So, if you’ve got the skills and the nerve, your best bet is Friday the 21st in the morning for glassy perfection at Pea Break. The Thursday the 20th afternoon is also a solid option. After that, it’s a waiting game. The big swells keep coming, but the wind is the enemy. Keep an eye on it, but don’t expect much until the conditions line up again.

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.
