The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. We’ve got a solid run of big, powerful groundswell coming in over the next couple of weeks, but it’s not going to be an easy ride. The standout period is a no-brainer, but you’ll have to work for it. This is Pea Break, a reef setup that needs a good eye, so it’s strictly for the advanced crew.
The first session worth getting wet for kicks off Friday afternoon, the 4th of September. The swell is already pumping at 16 ft from the WSW, with a long 14-second period, generating a massive 9532 of combined energy. That’s a serious amount of power. The wind is a cross-shore at 13 mph, which is okay, but the tide conditions are questionable. It’s a taste of what’s to come, but the real magic is just around the corner.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a write-off, with poor conditions and onshore winds. You’ll be sitting that one out.
Then we hit the gold. Monday morning, the 7th of September, is looking exceptional. The swell is 12 ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and we have a clean, moderate offshore wind from the SE at 13 mph. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for the time of year. This is the kind of day where the reef lights up with perfect, long lines. The combined energy is a robust 6307, but that offshore wind will keep things clean. It’s big, powerful, and for experienced surfers only.
The absolute best of the best, however, lands on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session is solid, with 13 ft from the WSW, a 16-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze (7148 energy). But the afternoon is an absolute dream. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, and the swell is still a solid 12 ft. That’s a rare combination at this size. The wave comment says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers,” and that’s exactly what it is. This is the one to circle.
The quality remains good through Wednesday the 9th, with 10 ft from the WSW and a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is dropping. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are a step down, with smaller, weaker swell and cross-shore winds making things lumpy. The swell period does get very long on Friday the 11th, hitting 19 seconds, but the direction is off and the wind is messy.
The following weekend, the 12th and 13th of September, is a mixed bag. Saturday is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. But Sunday the 13th afternoon sees a big pulse of 18 ft from the W, with a 13-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s 9779 of energy, huge. It’s a standout in its own right, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Monday the 14th of September continues the big swell theme with 18 ft from the WSW, and the winds are gentle, so it’s clean. The energy is still massive at 9425. This is another day for the brave. The quality holds through the afternoon.
After that, the energy drops and the winds become more problematic. The second week from the 15th onwards is a mix of lumpy cross-shore winds and occasional clean windows. The 16th of September afternoon has a clean 10 ft from the WSW, which is a good option, but it’s not the same level as the earlier days. The 17th, 18th, and 19th are all blown out with onshore or cross-onshore winds and poor conditions.
So, the call is clear. The absolute standout is Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September. Big, glassy, and perfect. The backup is Monday the 7th morning, and the big weekend on the 13th and 14th are also serious contenders. Plan your time off around that.

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.
