The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Pea Break.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but no two ways about it, this is a spot for the experienced crew. Pea Break is an advanced, fairly consistent reef break, and it’s exposed to the southwest swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The real action kicks off on Sunday the 6th of September. We start with a solid 13ft SW swell, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a fresh offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean, but the conditions are a bit marginal. The following day, Monday the 7th, is where it starts to get interesting. The morning sees a 12ft SW swell with a gentle offshore breeze, and the wave energy is pumping. That’s clean, lined-up surf for the experienced surfer.
The standout of the whole outlook is Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning has a 13ft SW swell, a moderate offshore wind, and the wave energy is huge. The forecast calls this exceptional for experts. This is the one to circle. The afternoon cleans up with a light breeze on a 12ft WSW swell, and it’s still excellent.
The rest of the first week is a step down. Wednesday the 9th has solid 10ft groundswell but with cross-offshore winds, so it’s clean but not as perfect. By Thursday the 10th, the swell drops to 7ft and the wind turns cross-shore, making it messy. Friday the 11th is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions.
The second week opens with a lot of onshore wind and lumpy, choppy conditions from Saturday the 12th through to Monday the 14th. The swell is still there, around 10ft to 12ft, but the wind is all wrong. A few of the afternoon sessions may be clean, but the quality is marginal.
Things get tricky from Thursday the 17th of September. The swell jumps up to 13ft, then 20ft, and the wind is strong and cross-onshore. This is going to be a messy, blown-out mess. The wave energy is huge, but the conditions are poor. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The final real standout is a full week away, on Sunday the 20th of September. The forecast shows a massive 20ft SW groundswell with a very long 20-second period, and the wave energy is extreme. The wind is moderate cross-shore, and the conditions are described as wind and tide favorable. However, the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a monster, and it’s really only for the most experienced, and even then, it’s a question mark.
So, if you’re looking for the best on offer, hit Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s the one. The rest of the run has some clean windows, but that morning is the standout. Keep an eye on the 20th as a promising, but very uncertain, big wave day.
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.
