Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pea Break.

First off, we’ve got a solid run of SW groundswell on the horizon, but the winds are going to be the main character here. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for clean surfing because of the strong cross-off and onshore winds. Saturday the 22nd starts with a chunky 10 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but it’s blowing 12 mph cross-off, so it’s not going to be that clean. The combined energy is a meaty 3953, showing there’s a lot of power, but it’s just not well-ordered. Sunday the 23rd is similar story, 8 ft swell but still cross-off.

The real standout window opens up on Wednesday, August 26th. That morning we’ve got a massive 18 ft WSW swell with a very long 18-second period – that’s a serious groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 17497, so there’s a ton of power in the water. This is strictly for expert surfers only; it’s far too big for anyone else. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, leaving a bit of chop, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-off breeze. This is the best of the first week, but it’s a beast.

Thursday, August 27th is still good, with 12 ft SW swell, and the wind is cross-off all day, keeping it clean. The energy drops back to 5860, but it’s still a solid wave.

For a completely different vibe, Friday, August 28th is a gem. The swell drops to 8 ft from the SW, but the wind is an offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The energy is down to 1535, but for a more manageable size and perfect conditions, this is a top pick for experienced surfers wanting a clean session.

Saturday, August 29th is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is 6 ft but the wind is cross on the morning and cross-on in the afternoon, so it’s not a standout.

Sunday, August 30th is blown out again with fresh cross-onshore winds.

Now, the next absolute standout is Monday, August 31st. The morning is completely glassy, dead calm, with an 8 ft WSW swell and a 15-second period. That’s a dream scenario. The combined energy is 4715, solid power, but with zero wind it’ll be pristine. The afternoon holds 10 ft with a gentle cross-off, also excellent. This is the best all-rounder of the whole outlook.

Tuesday, September 1st is still clean with cross-off winds, but the swell is 8 ft and the energy is a bit lower.

Thursday, September 3rd is another clean morning with 8 ft SW swell, offshore winds from the ENE at 9 mph. Good for experienced surfers.

Finally, Friday, September 4th throws a big one. The morning is a messy 15 ft SW swell with strong cross-onshore winds. But the afternoon is a total flip: a 13 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is 8348. This is an exceptional, expert-only session if you can get out there. The size and power are massive, but the conditions are perfect. That’s a week out, so it’s promising but less certain.

So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Monday, August 31st for the unbeatable combo of size and glass. Next is Friday, August 28th for the clean, offshore lines. And for the big-wave crew, Wednesday, August 26th and Friday, September 4th are the heavy hitters. Crowds are possible at Pea Break, so keep that in mind.

Stay salty.
Rusty.
