The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The early part of the forecast is a write-off, with big, onshore winds and ugly conditions. It’s not until Friday afternoon that things start to get interesting. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday, September 4th in the afternoon. We’ve got 15ft of solid WSW groundswell pushing in, with a period of 15 seconds. That’s proper long-period energy, meaning it’ll be powerful and have some nice waiting time between sets. The wind is a light cross-shore, which will keep things reasonably clean. The combined swell energy is massive (9841), so this is a serious session for advanced surfers only. The swell is over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for Tuesday, September 8th. The morning session looks like the pick of the entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a clean 13ft swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the ESE, which is exactly what you want for a reef like Pea Break. The water will be glassy, and the combined energy is huge (9403). This is a world-class forecast for experts. The only downside is that it’s a fairly consistent spot, so crowds are possible, but with these conditions, everyone’s going to be frothing.
After that, the week of the 9th sees a drop in size and some messy winds, but there are still a few decent windows. Monday, September 14th morning offers a clean 13ft WSW swell with a 15-second period and a gentle cross-shore wind. It’s not the standout, but it’s a solid option for the advanced crew.
Looking further out, Wednesday, September 16th morning shows some promise. The swell is back up to 13ft from the WSW, with an 18-second period – that’s about as long as it gets. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but the energy is strong (9848). It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it could be a ripper.
For the rest of the second week, from the 10th onwards, the swell drops significantly and the winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. There’s not much to get excited about there.
So, to wrap it up: the first couple of days are a washout. Friday afternoon, September 4th is a strong start, but the absolute best is Tuesday morning, September 8th – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. After that, keep an eye on Wednesday, September 16th as a potential long-range gem.
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.
