The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Pea Break. It’s a classic reef setup that’s fairly consistent, but we’ve got a real mixed bag of conditions coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
We start off with some surf on the immediate horizon, but it’s nothing to get too excited about just yet. The end of July and the very start of August are looking a bit rough. Wednesday morning the 29th has some 8 ft SW groundswell with a solid 13-second period, but that NE wind is blowing cross-shore at 12 mph, putting a cross-chop on the face. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is close to normal for this time of year. The energy is hefty, but it’s just not clean enough for a good session. Thursday the 30th is even worse with stronger cross-onshore winds, and Friday the 31st is a write-off – a massive 10 ft to 12 ft SW groundswell but with howling onshore or cross-shore winds that will turn it into a washing machine. You can forget about it.
Now, the first real standout window is Saturday the 1st of August. The afternoon is the pick. We’ve got a solid 15 ft SW groundswell (15-second period, very long period) and the wind swings offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. The combined energy is massive, and with that offshore breeze, the reef will be holding some serious, clean lines. This is expert territory – anything over 8 ft is for the experienced crew, and this is well past that. The morning of the 1st is also clean with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still a chunky 13 ft. If you’re good enough, Saturday afternoon is the day to be out.
There’s a bit of a lull on Sunday the 2nd, with the swell dropping to 10 ft and the wind going cross-shore again, making it a bit lumpy. Not the best.
Then we get another little gem on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session is glassy – literally, glassy, with a 7 ft SW groundswell (15-second period) and a slight air, no wind at all. That’s a clean, beautiful wave for the experienced surfer. The afternoon holds a clean cross-offshore breeze, too. It’s not as big as the weekend, but the quality will be top-notch.
The middle of the first week of August gets messy again with a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds on a 10 ft to 12 ft swell. Not our best look.
The second week is where the forecast gets really interesting, but also a bit wild. The 7th and 8th of August see a massive pulse of SW groundswell, with the 7th hitting 26 ft and the 8th at 15 ft. The wind is cross-onshore, and the guidance is clear – the swell is just too big for this break. The energy numbers are astronomical. Unless you’re a big-wave charger and can handle a 26 ft close-out on a reef, this is a hard pass. The 9th and 10th of August are also absolutely massive, with 25 ft to 28 ft swells but with clean cross-offshore winds. Again, the size is the limiting factor here – it’s just too big for anyone but the absolute elite. The energy is off the charts.
After that monster run, things settle down. The 11th and 12th of August are still sizeable but with onshore winds, not great.
But then, on Thursday the 13th of August, we have a true standout. The morning session is calling: a 21 ft WSW groundswell (14-second period) with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph. The energy is huge, and the conditions are clean. This is a massive swell, but the light wind and the reef setup could make for some incredibly deep, powerful barrels for the experts. That afternoon is also exceptional, with a 20 ft WSW groundswell and glassy conditions. The 13th of August is the day to circle on the calendar for the big-wave crew.
So, the best on offer? For the first week, Saturday 1st August afternoon is your call for big, clean, expert-only waves. For the second week, keep an eye on Thursday 13th August – it’s a long way out, so it’s a bit of a promise, but if it holds, it could be the session of the run.
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.
