The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and knots for you.
Pea Break is a reef setup, and it’s one for the advanced crew only. The water temperature is sittin’ at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing to get excited about there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in on Monday the 27th of July. The weekend beforehand is a write-off – Saturday and Sunday are a mess of lumpy, cross-onshore wind and way too much swell for any kind of fun. But Monday morning kicks off with a clean 12ft swell from the southwest, with a cross-offshore breeze (SSE, 9 knots). That’s the kind of combo that’ll have the reef grinding. The combined energy is a solid 3505 (moderate to strong), and the period is 12 seconds – a proper groundswell. It’s goin’ to be clean, but at 12ft, this is purely for the experienced. Monday afternoon holds similar, with a 10ft SW swell and a full offshore breeze (SSE, 12 knots). That’s your standout session for the whole outlook – clean, punchy, and powerful. Crowds are possible sometimes, but with that size, it’ll thin out the pack.
Tuesday the 28th still has a solid 10ft SW swell rollin’ in the morning, clean again with a cross-offshore breeze (ENE, 12 knots). The period stretches to 14 seconds, which is long and juicy, but those long gaps between sets might make it a bit frustrating. Afternoon gets a bit lighter with a 8ft swell and a light cross-on wind – still surfable, but not as clean.
From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week, we start to see the swell ease off. Wednesday morning has 5ft SW swell but with a 17-second period – that’s very long period, which at a reef break like this can be a real treat, offerin’ long, wallin’ waves. The wind is cross-shore though, so a bit of chop will be in the mix. The energy is still high (2403), but the cross-shore wind knocks it down a peg. Thursday and Friday are similar – smaller, still SW groundswell, but persistent cross or cross-on winds. The quality is marginal, not terrible, but not a standout.
Saturday the 1st of August shows a buildin’ swell again, with 12ft SW swell in the morning and a 17-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-shore (NE, 9 knots), so it’ll be clean but for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is a massive 6786 (strong). That’s another promising session, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as a hopeful long-range call.
The followin’ week gets a bit wild. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are poor – strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Then Tuesday the 4th of August brings a 13ft WSW swell with a short 9-second period – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’ll be a bit raw and choppy. The wind is cross-offshore (SSW, 9 knots), so it’ll be clean, but the short period makes it a bit of a mess.
Wednesday the 5th of August sees a massive 26ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 34809 – that’s very strong. But the wind is a near gale from the west at 31 knots, blowin’ it out completely. The file says it’s too big for this break, and I’d agree – that’s a survival mission, not a surf session.
The tail end of the outlook, Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, still has big swell – 13ft to 26ft – but with onshore or offshore winds. Saturday the 8th of August actually has a fresh offshore breeze (SSE, 22 knots) and a 26ft WSW swell, but again, it’s too big for Pea Break. The file flags it as too big.
So, to sum it up: the best of the lot is Monday the 27th of July, with clean, offshore wind and a solid 10ft to 12ft SW groundswell. That’s the one to circle. The Saturday the 1st of August session is also a standout long-range call, but keep an eye on the wind. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too bloody big. For beginners, don’t even think about it – this break is for the advanced crew, and the swell is often over 5ft.
There’s a solid gap of no good surf from the 24th through to the 26th of July, and again from the 2nd to the 4th of August. But the forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.
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.
