Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead for Pea Break. This is an advanced reef set-up, so it’s not for the faint-hearted.
We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The first few days are looking tempting, but you’ll need to pick your windows carefully. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The standout for the whole period is Monday, July 27th. We’re looking at a powerful 13ft to 15ft southwest swell with a very long period of 16 to 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and at a reef break like Pea Break, it’s going to unload with serious shape and energy. The combined energy is massive (7283 to 12346), so this is a heavy, powerful ocean. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is for experts only – the swell is well over 8ft, so it’s a big, committed wave.
The next best is probably the morning of Sunday, July 20th. You’ve got a 8ft southwest swell at 11 seconds, and the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare treat. The energy is moderate (1858), but the clean conditions will make the most of it. It’s a good one for experienced surfers who want a bit of size without the all-out power of the big swell.
The Saturday the 18th is a write-off. The swell is a massive 20ft to 21ft, which is way too big for this break, even for experts. The wind is howling, and the energy is extreme (over 20000). That’s not a surf day; that’s a watch-from-the-cliff day.
A few other mornings show promise, like the 21st and 22nd of July, with glassy conditions and smaller, clean swell, but the consistency and size aren’t as strong.
So, to keep it simple: if you’re an expert and you want the biggest, cleanest, most powerful waves, pencil in the 27th of July. If you want clean, fun-sized waves, the morning of the 20th of July is your window. The rest of the time, you’ll be battling wind or size that’s either too big or too messy.
Stay safe out there.
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.
