The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, it’s Rusty. This forecast starts rough but there’s some proper gems hidden in the second half if you’ve got the patience.
The first few days are a complete washout for Pea Break. Heavy rain, howling cross-onshore wind, and the ocean is a choppy mess. We’ve got a 3.0m swell on the 16th but the wind is killing it stone dead. The combined swell energy (7161) is strong, but with that WNW wind ripping across, forget it. Thursday afternoon is still lumpy and cross-shore. Friday is onshore junk with rain, and Saturday brings a massive 18ft to 16ft swell (combined energy hitting 9677, then 10903) with a strong cross-onshore breeze – total chaos. This setup is more for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
Sunday and Monday stay marginal with cross-shore winds and the swell dropping. Still not worth the drive.
Then it flips. Tuesday, July 21st, is where Pea Break (Pea-Break) finally shows its face. We’ve got a clean 8ft SW swell with a moderate offshore SSE breeze in the morning. The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. Combined energy is a solid 2156. By the afternoon, the wind drops to a gentle offshore and the swell holds. This is your first proper window. The swell is coming from the SW, which is exactly what this break wants to see, and that offshore wind will have the waves standing up tall and clean.
Wednesday, July 22nd, keeps the stoke alive. Morning is glassy with a light offshore breeze on a clean 8ft swell. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore wind. This is a beautiful, clean little run. Water temp is 66°, right about where it should be for this time of year.
We lose it Thursday and Friday as onshore winds come back, then a massive, blown-out 15ft+ swell hits Saturday the 25th. Hard pass.
But here comes another run. Sunday, July 26th, a big 15ft SW groundswell (combined energy 8330) rolls in with a cross-offshore S wind. The report calls it marginal, likely because of the size, but with clean wind, this is for the big-wave crew only. Monday, 27th, repeats the theme: 12ft to 10ft SW swell with a clean, moderate offshore SSE wind. Excellent.
Peeking into the long range, Wednesday, July 29th, looks promising with a 10ft SW swell and clean cross-offshore wind. Then Thursday, July 30th, is the one to circle on your calendar. A 10ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 19 seconds (combined energy 8071). That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell with a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s two weeks out, so treat it as a promising long-range call, but this one has the markings of something special.
For the best surf on offer, lock in that Tuesday to Wednesday window on the 21st and 22nd. The long-period swell on the 30th is the one to dream on.
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.
