Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the table for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a rocky start this Friday and Saturday with a solid WSW swell pulsing through, but the wind’s all wrong – cross-onshore and choppy. For a reef break that’s advanced only, it’s just messy. The combined energy is strong at 3109 to 4810, but no one’s gonna enjoy that. Give it a miss.

Sunday stays lumpy with the same cross-on wind, and the swell bumps up to 12ft with strong energy (4957). Still poor. Not your day.

Then things shift. Monday the 14th is the first real standout. Morning brings a clean cross-off breeze, the swell holds at 12ft from the WSW with a solid 14-second period. The combined energy cranks to 4986. This is excellent for experienced surfers – that reef will handle the long-period groundswell beautifully. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s clean. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but this one’s worth the paddle out. Water temp feels pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

Tuesday the 15th morning is another beauty: 10ft from the WSW, glassy offshore wind from the ESE at just 3 mph. Combined energy is 3815. Clean conditions, but that size and period (14 seconds) make it a big-wave reef session for the well-prepared. Afternoon gets a fresh southerly cross-off, still clean but the quality drops off.

Midweek sees the swell easing, and the wind turns tricky – cross-shore or onshore through Wednesday and Thursday. The energy drops, and conditions become marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

Friday the 18th sees a new pulse: 6ft in the morning, but that 18-second period is very long. Combined energy jumps to 3020, and it’s clean under a cross-off breeze. This long-period groundswell will stand up nicely on this reef. Afternoon picks up to 8ft with 16-second period and 3724 energy. Clean again. Solid session for those who know the reef.

The next weekend, 20th and 21st, looks big but tricky. Sunday the 20th sees 12ft to 13ft from the SW with 15-second period, but it’s onshore wind. Combined energy hits 6313. That’s strong, but the wind wrecks it. Then Monday the 21st – morning has 16ft from the SW, cross-on wind and choppy, but the afternoon flips: cross-off wind, clean, and still 16ft with 14-second period. Combined energy is 8516. This is the standout of the whole run if you’re an expert. Massive, clean, and powerful. Rarely do you get that size with clean wind here. The swell direction matches the optimum SW. Expect some crowd if it’s on, but for that kind of wave, who cares.

Tuesday the 22nd stays solid: 10ft with offshore SE wind at 19 mph. Fresh offshore and clean. That’s another excellent window for the experienced crew.

After that, the swell backs down into the 7-8ft range through the end of the month, with clean cross-off winds but nothing that hits the highs of that 21st. Still fun for the keen.

Overall, the first few days are a write-off, but from Monday the 14th onwards there are windows. The absolute best on offer is Monday afternoon the 21st – huge, clean, and powerful. Tuesday the 22nd morning is a close second.
