The Lowdown

Alright, let me look at the charts. We’ve got a solid run of south-west swell on the way for Pea Break, but you’re gonna have to be patient and pick your windows carefully. The energy is real – we’re talking combined swell energy readings hitting 3450 (moderate to strong) early on, and it just builds from there – but the wind is going to be the big boss here.

Right now, the water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is “a touch warmer than normal” for this time of year… about 3° above average. Not a huge difference, but you’ll notice it’s a little more pleasant if you’re in a spring suit.

The first real highlight doesn’t happen until Wednesday the 26th of August. The surf picks up big time – a solid 16 ft swell from the WSW, with a very long 18-second period. That’s a serious groundswell heading in. Combined energy is through the roof at 15493 (very strong). Now, on the Wednesday morning there’s a light cross-shore wind, so expect some slight texture. Wednesday afternoon looks cleaner with a cross-off shore breeze, and waves holding at 16 ft. That’s expert territory, no question. The raw power and length of those sets will make for incredible shape on this reef, but it’s not a day for the faint-hearted.

Thursday the 27th drops a bit to 12 ft with a decent 15-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-off shore, so it’ll still be clean. The energy is still strong at 5525. It’s still big, but maybe a touch more manageable for the advanced crew if the Wednesday swell is too much.

Now, the real standout I’m getting excited about is Friday, the 28th of August. The swell has backed off a little to 8 ft from the SW with a 12-second period. What makes this special is the wind: a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE. The report calls it “gentle offshore and clean” – that’s the magic phrase. The combined energy is moderate at 1522, but the quality will be there. This is the session to circle. The only buzzkill is that Pea Break can see crowds “sometimes,” so on a clean Friday morning with offshore winds, expect company.

The first week of September looks messy. There’s plenty of swell – 12 ft to 15 ft – but the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore and stays there. Thursday the 3rd of September has 13 ft swell but a strong, messy cross-onshore wind. That setup at a reef break like this – with that much onshore chop – looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Not much to recommend there no matter how much energy is in the water.

We finally get a reprieve on the weekend of September 6th and 7th. Sunday the 6th shows 16 ft from the WSW with a cross-off wind and clean conditions by the afternoon. The energy is at 7357 (very strong). Then Monday the 7th of September is the absolute best of the whole forecast. You are looking at an exceptional 23 ft groundswell from the WSW, 14-second period, with a light offshore/cross-off wind and glassy clean conditions. Combined energy? 17786 – that is extremely powerful, world-class energy. But let me be straight with you: that is for expert surfers only. That is a proper, heavy session at a reef. The secondary window that afternoon is 20 ft with the same clean conditions, still an absolute gem for the brave.

So to wrap it up: the best bets are Friday morning, August 28th for the clean, manageable, offshore conditions, and then Monday, September 7th if you’re a hardcore expert looking for the swell of the month. Just remember, at this range, the big Monday call is promising but a little less certain than the Friday session.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
