The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid 16 days ahead for Pea Break, a reef setup for the advanced crew. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is just about average for this time of year – nothing to write home about, but you won’t need a 5mm steamer.
The first real action kicks off on Monday afternoon, August 31st. We’ve got a 8 ft groundswell out of the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. The wave energy is strong at 3298, but the wind is a howling 25 mph cross-off from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean but those massive sets will be heavy. This is advanced territory, folks. The quality is marginal, but for the experienced surfer, it’s a big, raw ocean.
Tuesday morning, September 1st, sees the swell drop slightly but still at 8 ft from the WSW, 15-second period. The energy is still strong at 3079. The wind has eased to 12 mph from the SW, but it’s blowing cross, so you’ll get a bit of a chop across the face. Not the cleanest, but the size is there.
Now, the big stuff. On Friday morning, September 4th, we’re looking at a massive 18 ft swell from the SW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 15192 – that’s a serious amount of power. The wind is 12 mph from the SW, blowing cross, creating a messy cross-chop. This is a beast for experts only. If you’re not comfortable in big, heavy, churning water, stay on the beach.
The weekend of September 5th and 6th turns into a full-on gale. Winds are hitting 43 mph on Saturday morning, making it dangerous and unrideable. Don’t even think about it.
The real standout, the one to circle, is Tuesday afternoon, September 8th. The swell has dropped to a very manageable 12 ft from the WSW, with a 15-second period. The energy is still strong at 5445, but the wind is a dead-flat calm – glassy conditions. The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the best on offer. Clean, powerful, and for the experts. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
Another clean window pops up on Thursday morning, September 10th. Glassy again, with a 12 ft WSW swell and a 14-second period. The energy is a solid 5338. This is another prime slot for the advanced crew.
The following week has some good moments. Sunday morning, September 13th, is glassy with a 10 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a clean energy of 3502. And Monday afternoon, September 14th, has a 8 ft SW swell with a 15-second period, a clean offshore wind from the S, and the report calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That’s a great way to end the period.
Overall, Pea Break is firing for the hardcore surfers. The best of the best is Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, followed by Thursday morning, September 10th. The long-period groundswells mean the waves will be powerful and well-shaped for this reef, but the long lulls between sets will make the paddle out a mission. This is not a beginner’s spot. If you’re an expert, your calendar is full.
Rusty out.

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.
