The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Pea Break.

We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off with messy conditions and strong winds, but there’s a proper pulse of energy coming through mid-period that’s got my attention.

The swell really cranks up from Wednesday, August 26th. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 16ft of WSW groundswell, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined wave energy is pumping hard at 14437 – that’s strong to very strong energy. The wind is coming out of the S at 16 mph, which is a cross-off shore, so it’s keeping the surface clean despite the size. This is serious, expert-only territory. Over 8ft, you need to know what you’re doing, and that 18-second period means the waves will have heaps of power and long lulls between sets. This kind of long-period groundswell loves a reef like Pea Break, so it should line up nicely, but it’s going to be heavy. If you’re an experienced surfer, this Wednesday morning is your standout.

The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is 3° warmer than usual for this time of year – a touch warmer than normal, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

Thursday, August 27th, the swell eases a bit but stays solid at 13ft from the WSW with a 15-second period. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s still clean and punchy, but the energy drops to 6292 – still a powerful session but not as gnarly as Wednesday.

Friday, August 28th, things settle down. The swell drops to 8ft from the SW, period shortens to 12 seconds, and we get a beautiful light offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. The forecast calls it excellent for experienced surfers, with clean, gentle offshore lines. This is a far more manageable size for the advanced crew and the wave quality should be really good.

Beyond that, it gets messy. From Saturday, August 29th, onward, the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore for days, chopping up the swell. There’s still plenty of size – often 10ft to 16ft – but the conditions are poor for paddling. By September 2nd, we get another 16ft pulse, but it’s cross-shore and choppy. Honestly, after Friday the 28th, there’s a gap of poor conditions stretching almost until the end of the forecast, with only a few glimpses of clean, cross-off wind on the afternoon of September 5th and into September 6th, when a 10ft SW swell has clean conditions but only marginal surf quality due to tide or other factors.

The standout is clear: Wednesday, August 26th morning. If you’ve got the skills and the nerve, that’s the session to circle. Friday the 28th is your backup for cleaner, smaller waves.

Stay safe out there.

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.
