The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Pea Break – a solid reef setup that's built for the experienced crew. The water's sitting at 67°F right now, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not even need a full wetsuit. The first few days of the outlook are pretty grim – cross‑onshore winds and choppy, lumpy waves making it a write‑off. Don't bother paddling out on Monday or Tuesday this week; the conditions are just plain ugly.
Things start to turn around on Wednesday, July 22. That morning, the wind swings light from the east, cross‑offshore, and the surf is a clean 8ft of SW groundswell, period 13 seconds. The energy is pumping – strong wave energy (4130) – and the waves are shaping up nicely. This is a standout for the intermediate‑to‑advanced surfer. By afternoon, the swell jumps to 12ft, period 14 seconds, with a gentle offshore breeze from the southeast. That's expert territory – big, powerful lines that only the experienced should charge. The combined energy is even higher (4370). Truly a magical window if you've got the skills.
Thursday, July 23, holds some decent 8ft swell but the wind goes cross‑offshore from the northeast, keeping things clean, though the energy drops a bit. Still a solid option if you missed Wednesday. Friday, July 24, sees the swell drop to 5ft and the wind turns cross‑shore – not terrible, but nothing special. The weekend is a bust: strong onshore winds and increasing chop, with the swell getting messy. By Sunday, July 26, you've got an 12ft swell but it's cross‑onshore and lumpy – no good. The whole of the following week (July 27 to August 2) is a mess of strong winds, rain, and deteriorating conditions, with only a few marginal windows. The combined energy numbers are huge (over 5000 at times), but the wind just ruins it.
Then, on Saturday, August 1 – a full week and a half out – things get interesting again. The morning brings a glassy, dead calm session with 8ft of SW groundswell at 14 seconds. The energy is strong (3063) and the surface is clean as a whistle. This is another standout, but it's a long‑range call, so keep your fingers crossed. The afternoon gets a bit onshore again, so the morning is your only chance. After that, Sunday, August 2, is poor, but Monday, August 3, brings a clean offshore wind from the southeast, with a smaller 5ft swell – a nice, clean option for the intermediate crowd.
Bottom line: Wednesday, July 22 is the best of the near‑term, and Saturday, August 1 morning is the long‑range gem. Don't sleep on the midweek window – it's a beauty.

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.
