The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for Pea Break. It’s a reef setup, so it’s got that demand for a bit of know-how, and it’s a fairly consistent spot for swell, but the wind is going to be the real story here.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’re seeing a lot of cross and onshore winds, and the conditions are choppy and messy. Tuesday afternoon kicks off with a 8ft SW swell, but that cross-on wind from the WSW at 12 mph is just going to make it a bumpy, unappealing paddle. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you'd be wasting your time getting wet.
Wednesday afternoon looks like the first real glimmer. The swell holds at a solid 12ft from the SW, and the wind swings to a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph. That’s a clean look. The wave energy is pumping, so you’ll feel the push, but it's a big, powerful swell for a reef. This is advanced territory, no doubt.
Thursday is a total no-go with strong onshore winds, and Friday is a full-on washout. Saturday afternoon is a curious one: a massive 18ft swell from the SW but with a short 10-second period, and the wind is a near gale. Forget paddling, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Now, the standout. Sunday, September 6th afternoon is where it’s at. The swell drops to a more manageable 10ft from the WSW, but the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SW at 12 mph. The energy is massive, and the report says marginal, but that’s a classic Pea Break window. That long period will wrap perfectly into the reef, offering powerful, shaping lines. That’s the best on offer for the first week.
The second week has a few good calls. Tuesday, September 8th morning is a beauty. Clean 15ft SW swell with a long 16-second period, and an offshore wind from the E at 16 mph. That is a serious session for the experienced. The energy is huge. It’s a standout for the entire period.
Friday, September 11th afternoon also looks promising with a fresh offshore breeze from the SSE and a solid 10ft SW swell. Clean, fast, and powerful.
Saturday, September 12th morning is the only time the conditions drop to "excellent" for experienced surfers. The swell is a solid 10ft from the SW, period is a very long 15 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off. The energy is healthy. That’s a quality window, but it’s a one-off.
The rest of the second week fades into messy onshore winds and less defined swell, so your best bets are Sunday the 6th, Tuesday the 8th, and a look at the 11th and 12th. Pea Break is an advanced reef, and with these sizes, it’s not for the faint of heart. Keep your wits about you.
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.
