The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer at Pea Break over the next couple of weeks. Right now, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some serious muscle building in the second week if you’ve got the patience and the skill.
The swell is coming from the WSW, which is pretty much bang on what this reef wants to see. The water’s sitting at 64.6°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.
The first real surfable window kicks off Wednesday 9th September. The morning session has a solid 9.8ft WSW swell with a 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy (3793). The wind is cross-off from the ENE at 15.5 mph, which will keep the faces clean. The catch is that this is an advanced spot, and 9.8ft is getting into the big stuff, so only for the experienced crew. The afternoon drops a touch to 8.2ft, same direction, with a lighter 9.3 mph cross-off, still clean. The score is marginal, but the energy is there.
Thursday 10th September morning gets messy with a moderate cross-shore and chop from a 15.5 mph NE wind, but the afternoon is a real standout. The wind swings to NNW at a glassy 3.1 mph, giving you clean, smooth conditions. The swell is a solid 6.2ft at 15 seconds from the WSW. It’s not huge, but the quality is there for experienced surfers. This is a good pick for a relaxing session with some power.
Friday 11th September goes downhill fast. The morning is a lumpy 18.6 mph cross-shore, and the afternoon turns into a 12.4 mph cross-on with a 8.2ft swell and a 18-second period – that’s a very long period. On a reef this long period can be a benefit, but the wind is just ruining it. Poor conditions.
Saturday 12th September through to Sunday 13th September are all cross-on winds, choppy and lumpy, with swell heights between 7.2ft and 9.8ft. Not worth paddling out.
Monday 14th September morning is a surprise. The wind drops to a light 3.1 mph from the NE, giving a light cross-shore with small wind ripples. The swell is a solid 11.5ft from the WSW at 14 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (4505), but with the light wind, it could be clean. Still, 11.5ft is expert territory. The afternoon is cross-off from the SSW at 12.4 mph, also clean, but again, big.
Tuesday 15th September stays clean with cross-off winds, but the swell is still 11.5ft in the morning and 9.8ft in the afternoon. The wind picks up to 21.7 mph in the afternoon, making it a bit of a battle.
Wednesday 16th September offers a drop in size to 8.2ft in the morning with a 16-second period and a gentle 9.3 mph cross-off. Clean and manageable for the advanced crew.
Thursday 17th September sees the wind turn onshore, and the quality drops. The afternoon is a write-off with poor conditions.
Now, we hit a big gap. Friday 18th September through Saturday 19th September is a straight-up mess. The wind is strong, the swell is massive (19.7ft on the 19th), and the conditions are poor. This is more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. The energy numbers are through the roof (over 15,000), but it’s not for us.
Sunday 20th September is the first real standout of the second week. The morning session has a 16.4ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds, a very long period groundswell. The wind is a light 6.2 mph from the WSW, so it’s cross-on, but with the light breeze, it’s just small wind ripples. The energy is massive (12513). This is for experts only, and it’s a promising call, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Monday 21st September is onshore and messy.
Tuesday 22nd September morning is the absolute standout of the whole outlook. The wind is a clean offshore 12.4 mph from the SSE, the swell is 11.5ft from the SW at 16 seconds, and the energy is big (6840). The conditions are described as exceptional for expert surfers. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The afternoon gets a strong 24.9 mph cross-off, so stick to the morning.
Wednesday 23rd September keeps the quality going with a 14.8ft swell from the SW at 17 seconds (very long period) and a fresh 18.6 mph cross-off from the east. The energy is over 10,000. This is another big, powerful day for the experts.
Thursday 24th September is still surf

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.
