Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Pea Break.

It’s a slow start, but there’s some serious grunt coming down the line. The first few days are a write-off, but we’ve got a real standout window from Wednesday the 5th and another one later in the second week. The water is 67°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are a mess. The swell is there, but the onshore wind is blowing it to pieces. Leave the stick in the rack.

The highlight of the first week is Wednesday morning, August 5th. Pea Break will be absolutely cranking with a 15 ft swell from the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. That’s deep, powerful groundswell, and the combined energy reading is a massive 10,754. The wind is a light offshore from the SW at 10 km/h, creating clean, glassy conditions. This is an exceptional setup for expert surfers. It’s big, it’s a reef, and the long period will make for some thick, heavy sets with long gaps. Not for the faint-hearted.

Wednesday afternoon eases off a touch, still 15 ft, but with a light cross-shore breeze.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are back to average with onshore winds and chop. Friday afternoon gets really messy with a 40 km/h wind.

Saturday, August 8th is another big day. The swell hits 18 ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 15,212. The wind is a clean cross-offshore (SSW 25 km/h), so it’ll be clean and powerful. This is a huge, raw day, strictly for the experts.

Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th are mixed. The swell stays big, but the wind is the main problem. Monday the 10th is a total no-go with 45 km/h cross-onshore winds.

Tuesday, August 11th morning is a wild one. The swell is 18 ft, but the wind is a near-gale (50 km/h) from the SSW. It’s clean, but it’s blowing a gale. Wednesday the 12th is better, with the swell at 18 ft and a lighter cross-offshore breeze (20 km/h), with the combined energy still at 14,709.

The week from the 13th sees the swell drop. Friday the 14th has a cleaner 6 ft to 5 ft swell with light offshore winds, a much better size. Saturday the 15th is a good call with a clean 10 ft swell from the SW, light winds, and a moderate combined energy of 4,563. The 16th and 17th get blown out again.

The best bet for the second week is Saturday, August 15th. The swell is a solid 10 ft, the wind is clean and light, making it a much more manageable and fun session than the giant days earlier.

So, the call is: Wednesday morning, August 5th is the standout of the first week – big, clean, and powerful. For the second week, Saturday, August 15th looks like the most promising, cleaner option. The gap between the 5th and the 8th is a complete loss, and the 10th is a mess.

Rusty.
