The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Pea Break. This is a reef setup that doesn’t just hand out waves to anyone – it’s an advanced spot, and this forecast is a real mixed bag for the next couple of weeks.
We kick off on Saturday the 25th, and honestly, it’s a rough start. The swell is there at 6 ft from the WSW, but a nasty 19 mph cross-on north wind is tearing it up. The water is sitting at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit, but the surface is just lumpy. It’s a write-off.
Sunday the 26th looks a whole lot bigger, with a 16 ft SW groundswell, but the wind is howling from the southwest at 28 mph. It’s a mess. The combined swell energy is massive at (6182), but you can’t paddle in that. The afternoon cleans up a fraction, but the swell is still 16 ft and way too big for any sane paddler—this is solid expert-only territory, if you can even get out.
The first window that’s worth a proper look comes on Monday the 28th. Tuesday morning is the standout. We’ve got a solid 10 ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at just 6 mph. The conditions are clean. That kind of period means the waves will have real punch and shape, but at this size at a reef, it’s still for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is (3518), which is a lot of water moving.
We hit a bit of a lull after that. Wednesday and Thursday are smaller, around 5 ft to 8 ft, but the wind keeps shifting around, keeping things messy. The period stays long, though, so there’s some juice.
Friday the 31st looks interesting with an 8 ft SW groundswell (3734) and almost no wind in the morning—just a light onshore breath. That’s rare, and it could offer a clean session for the advanced crew. Saturday the 1st of August also shapes up nicely, with a clean 8 ft swell and light cross-off wind. That afternoon gets a rating of excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
The first week of August goes completely off the rails. From the 2nd through the 5th, a series of stormy swells roll in, hitting 23 ft on the 5th with combined energy at a staggering (22041). That’s not for paddle surfing; that’s a kite situation or a boat day. Winds are onshore and strong, so the quality is poor.
After that, a massive cleanup happens. The 7th of August is a miracle morning—glassy conditions with a light southwesterly wind, and a clean 7 ft SW swell. That’s the gold in this forecast. Then the 8th brings a strong 13 ft W groundswell with a fresh offshore ESE breeze. The period is short at 10 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker and more crumbly, but the wind will make it rideable for the brave. Finally, the 9th of August is a huge finish: 20 ft from the WSW with a clean cross-off breeze. That size at Pea Break is only for the top-tier crew.
So, if you’re picking your days, lock in Tuesday the 28th for the best clean big-wave window early on, and circle Friday the 7th of August for that glassy, medium-sized session. Expect crowds sometimes if the conditions line up, because everyone will be looking at the same windows.
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.
