The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pea Break.
First off, we’ve got a solid run of SW groundswell on the horizon, but the winds are going to be the main character here. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for clean surfing because of the strong cross-off and onshore winds. Saturday the 22nd starts with a chunky 10 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but it’s blowing 12 mph cross-off, so it’s not going to be that clean. The combined energy is a meaty 3953, showing there’s a lot of power, but it’s just not well-ordered. Sunday the 23rd is similar story, 8 ft swell but still cross-off.
The real standout window opens up on Wednesday, August 26th. That morning we’ve got a massive 18 ft WSW swell with a very long 18-second period – that’s a serious groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 17497, so there’s a ton of power in the water. This is strictly for expert surfers only; it’s far too big for anyone else. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, leaving a bit of chop, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-off breeze. This is the best of the first week, but it’s a beast.
Thursday, August 27th is still good, with 12 ft SW swell, and the wind is cross-off all day, keeping it clean. The energy drops back to 5860, but it’s still a solid wave.
For a completely different vibe, Friday, August 28th is a gem. The swell drops to 8 ft from the SW, but the wind is an offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The energy is down to 1535, but for a more manageable size and perfect conditions, this is a top pick for experienced surfers wanting a clean session.
Saturday, August 29th is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is 6 ft but the wind is cross on the morning and cross-on in the afternoon, so it’s not a standout.
Sunday, August 30th is blown out again with fresh cross-onshore winds.
Now, the next absolute standout is Monday, August 31st. The morning is completely glassy, dead calm, with an 8 ft WSW swell and a 15-second period. That’s a dream scenario. The combined energy is 4715, solid power, but with zero wind it’ll be pristine. The afternoon holds 10 ft with a gentle cross-off, also excellent. This is the best all-rounder of the whole outlook.
Tuesday, September 1st is still clean with cross-off winds, but the swell is 8 ft and the energy is a bit lower.
Thursday, September 3rd is another clean morning with 8 ft SW swell, offshore winds from the ENE at 9 mph. Good for experienced surfers.
Finally, Friday, September 4th throws a big one. The morning is a messy 15 ft SW swell with strong cross-onshore winds. But the afternoon is a total flip: a 13 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is 8348. This is an exceptional, expert-only session if you can get out there. The size and power are massive, but the conditions are perfect. That’s a week out, so it’s promising but less certain.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Monday, August 31st for the unbeatable combo of size and glass. Next is Friday, August 28th for the clean, offshore lines. And for the big-wave crew, Wednesday, August 26th and Friday, September 4th are the heavy hitters. Crowds are possible at Pea Break, so keep that in mind.
Stay salty.
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.
