Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pea Break over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid run of surf coming our way at Pea Break. This is a reef setup for advanced surfers only, so don’t even think about it if you’re not ready for serious power. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action kicks off right now, Saturday the 11th of July. Saturday morning we’ve got an 8ft swell from the southwest, with a 13-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the south at 9 mph. The wave energy is pumping hard at 2492—that’s strong, powerful stuff. Conditions are clean, and the sets will have some real punch. Saturday afternoon pushes up to 10ft, still clean, still cross-off, but the energy jumps to 3208. This is proper, heavy surf for the experienced crew.
Sunday the 12th is where it really starts to shine. The morning brings 10ft southwest swell at 14 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is a hefty 4912, and it’s clean as a whistle. This is a standout session—long-period groundswell with shape, power, and clean conditions. The afternoon goes even bigger: 12ft, 17-second period, and energy at 8192. That’s a very long-period groundswell, and it’ll be breaking a bit straight at times, but on this reef, it’ll offer some deep, heavy barrels. Crowds are possible here, so be ready to share the peak.
Monday the 13th keeps the goods coming. Morning has 12ft from the southwest, 16 seconds, and a light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph. Energy is 6049—clean and powerful. The afternoon is similar, 12ft, 16 seconds, still cross-off, energy at 5087. This is another top-tier day.
Tuesday the 14th is a beauty. Morning sees 10ft southwest swell, 15 seconds, with a light cross-off from the northeast at 6 mph. Then the afternoon turns glassy—wind drops to 3 mph from the east, making it smooth as glass. Still 10ft, 14-second period, energy at 3326. If you can get out there, it’ll be some of the cleanest, most powerful surf of the run.
Then the wheels come off. Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th is a write-off. Strong winds, messy conditions, and onshore slop. Wednesday morning has 19 mph north winds, Thursday brings 25 mph from the NNW, and Friday is even worse with 28 mph WNW. The swell is still there, but it’s blown out and lumpy. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 18th gets wild. Morning has 16ft swell from the WSW, 17 seconds, with a near gale from the southwest at 31 mph. The energy is massive at 15551. This is a beast. The afternoon drops to 18ft, 16 seconds, with cross-shore winds at 22 mph. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—it’s going to be a messy, dangerous mess for most.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are marginal. Sunday has 12ft and 10ft, but cross-onshore winds and a chop. Monday drops to 7ft and 6ft, with light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is low, and it’s not clean. Not your best bet.
The rest of the outlook into the second week is a mixed bag. Tuesday the 21st is blown out again with 19 mph west-northwest winds. Wednesday the 22nd has some 12ft swell but cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 23rd brings a clean window with 10ft from the southwest and a strong cross-off breeze at 28 mph, but it’s lumpy. Friday the 24th and the weekend of the 25th-26th are messy, with onshore winds and dropping swell.
The standout sessions are clear: Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are the best on offer—big, clean, powerful groundswell with light offshore winds. Tuesday the 14th afternoon is a glassy gem. After that, it’s a waiting game.
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.
