The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Pea Break.

Right off the bat, we’re lookin’ at a bit of a wait. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are a write-off—onshore winds howlin’ and the surf is a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddlin’ out for. Then we’ve got a couple of days of clean conditions but with some serious size. Wednesday the 26th of August is the first real standout. We’ve got a solid 16ft swell out of the WSW with a long period of 18 seconds, and a cross-off breeze keepin’ it clean. The wave energy is through the roof (15,493). This is big, powerful groundswell—definitely for experts only. That long period means the sets will be wide-set, but at a reef like Pea Break, it should line up nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Thursday the 27th is still big but droppin’, still clean but the quality dips a bit. Then Friday morning the 28th is a real gem. The swell has dropped to a more manageable 7ft from the SW, period is 12 seconds, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. The wave energy is moderate (1,468) but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the pick of the first week if you want clean, lined-up waves without gettin’ pounded.

The weekend gets a bit messy again with cross and cross-on winds, so not ideal. Then we’ve got a long stretch of average-to-poor conditions right through the start of September. The swell hangs around but the winds aren’t playin’ ball.

Now, the second week has some promise. Friday the 4th of September is a standout. The morning is clean with an 12ft WSW swell and light offshore wind. The wave energy is strong (5,023). Then the afternoon pumps up to 16ft from the SW with a 16-second period and even more energy (11,426), and it’s still clean. That’s a proper session if you’ve got the skills and the nerve.

Sunday the 6th of September is another big one. We’ve got a 16ft swell in the morning with a strong offshore wind from the SE, but it’s blowin’ 25 mph, so paddlin’ in will be a battle. The afternoon is cleaner with 18ft and a fresh offshore. Then Monday the 7th is the real cherry on top: morning is clean with 18ft, and the afternoon goes glassy with 15ft. That afternoon session is exceptional for experts—glassy conditions and a solid SW groundswell. That’s the one to circle.

So overall, the best windows are Wednesday the 26th of August, Friday morning the 28th of August, and then Friday the 4th and Monday the 7th of September. The swell is consistently big throughout, so this is not a beginner’s playground. Pea Break can get crowded sometimes, but with these sizes, the crowd will thin out.

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.

Pea Break is 72 km (45 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
