The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Pea Break. This is a reef setup that likes a good SW groundswell, and it’s an advanced wave – no messing around once it gets serious. The water temp is sitting pretty normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
The next 16 days are a bit of a slow burner with, unfortunately, a bit of a gap. The first swell window worth talking about arrives on Wednesday the 26th of August, with a very strong pulse of energy (17,783). We’re looking at a big 16ft swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s groundswell from a long way away. It’s going to be powerful and a bit tricky, but by Wednesday afternoon, we get a light cross-off breeze, and honestly, the afternoon session that day is the real standout of the week. The conditions clean right up, the wave energy is massive (15,441), and it’s going to be pumping. That’s the one for the experienced crew.
Thursday the 27th holds decent size at 13ft to 12ft from the SW, but a fresh SSE breeze keeps it a bit bumpy. Good, but not the highlight.
Now, pay attention to Saturday the 29th of August. The morning is okay, but the afternoon turns glassy with an 8ft SW swell running at a long 16 seconds. That’s a beautiful, clean wave on the cards, and the energy is strong (4,699). Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get on it.
As we move into September, the first week looks consistently solid. We’ve got 10ft swell on Sunday the 30th, and then on Thursday the 3rd of September, we get another glassy morning with a clean 10ft from the SW. That’s a beauty.
Heads up for the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September. Saturday the 5th is messy, but Sunday the 6th sees a massive 28ft WSW groundswell with a 17-second period and incredible energy (38,154). The wind is light, but the wave heights are going to be absolutely enormous. This is only for the most expert of experts, and even then, it’s right on the limit of being too big for the break. Monday the 7th still has 21ft swell, but a cleaner cross-off wind. That’s a big, serious ocean.
So, to wrap it up: the standout window is Wednesday afternoon the 26th of August – that’s your best call for a clean, powerful session with the strongest swell. Saturday afternoon the 29th is your glassy, fun-sized option, and the glassy morning of Thursday the 3rd of September is another beauty. That last weekend is for the big wave chargers only.
Stay safe and pick your moments.
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.
