Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s run through what’s on the menu for Pea Break.

The first couple of days are a mess. Sunday the 5th is a write-off – rain, a fresh breeze from the NNW kicking up a chop, and poor surf. The afternoon is a bit better with a cross-shore wind but still marginal, with 6.6ft of WSW swell at 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (2004). Not worth it.

Monday the 6th is where it gets real. Morning brings a fresh offshore SSE breeze, 11.5ft of WSW swell at 15 seconds, and strong energy (5228). That’s big – over 8ft, so only for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even cleaner with a moderate offshore SE wind, same size, energy at 6074. Excellent for experts.

Tuesday the 7th keeps the clean theme. Morning light offshore SE, 11.5ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, very strong energy (6017). Afternoon goes cross-off with a moderate S breeze, dropping to 9.8ft but still clean. Perfect for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 8th is another strong day. Morning light cross-off ESE, 9.8ft of WSW swell at 17 seconds (very long period), and very strong energy (6033). That long period will make the reef stand up beautifully, though it can get a bit straight. Still, expert-level. Afternoon goes light cross-shore, 11.5ft, but the wind is cross – decent.

Thursday the 9th turns ugly. Morning is marginal with a gentle cross-onshore, 9.8ft, moderate energy (3416). The afternoon is a washout with light rain and a moderate cross-onshore chop. Skip it.

Friday the 10th gives you a breather. Morning has a light offshore SE breeze, clean, with 5.2ft of WSW swell at 13 seconds. Energy drops to moderate (1140). Good for smaller clean waves. Afternoon goes cross-off with moderate wind, 4.6ft, clean but marginal.

Saturday the 11th is a beauty, especially the afternoon. Morning has light cross-off ENE, 6.9ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, strong energy (2197). The afternoon is glassy – slight air, 8.2ft of SW swell at 14 seconds, energy at 2936. Clean, glassy, solid. Excellent for experts. Standout.

Sunday the 12th continues the goodness. Morning gentle cross-off ENE, 8.2ft, strong energy (3026). Afternoon slight air, 7.2ft, even stronger energy (3381). Both clean.

Monday the 13th is another glassy morning – slight air, 9.8ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, very strong energy (4586). Excellent. Afternoon goes cross-off gentle breeze, 8.2ft, clean.

Tuesday the 14th keeps it clean. Morning light cross-off, 8.2ft, strong energy (2615). Afternoon glassy, 8.2ft, similar energy (2460).

Wednesday the 15th drops a bit. Morning glassy, 6.2ft of SW swell at 13 seconds, moderate energy (1328). Afternoon glassy, 5.6ft, lighter energy (1036). Very good but smaller.

Thursday the 16th is a no-go. Strong onshore NNW winds, 9.8ft and 11.5ft of WSW, poor chop. Don’t bother.

Friday the 17th is marginal. 13.1ft of SW swell at 12 seconds in the morning, cross-off SSW wind. That’s huge and short-period, so lumpy. Afternoon similar with 11.5ft.

Now the big one: Saturday the 18th. Morning has a moderate offshore ESE, 14.8ft of SW swell at 17 seconds (very long period), and exceptional energy (12387). The afternoon is even bigger – 16.4ft of SW swell at 17 seconds, energy at 14483. Both windows are exceptional for expert surfers. That offshore wind with that period on a reef is about as good as it gets for experienced chargers. This is the standout – but it’s still over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Sunday the 19th eases off but stays excellent. Morning gentle offshore ESE, 11.5ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, strong energy (5330). Afternoon similar with 9.8ft and 15 seconds
