The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. We've got a solid run of swell ahead, but it's not all smooth sailing. The main player is a long, strong SW groundswell that hangs around for a good stretch, but the wind is going to be the real story for most of it. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65.8°F.
The first real chance to get wet is on Wednesday the 30th of July. Pea Break is seeing a 5.9ft SW swell, but it's messy with a moderate cross-shore chop. The morning's a write-off, and the afternoon is just as average with a cross-onshore breeze. Not the best start.
Thursday the 31st of July is a total no-go. The wind is howling onshore, and the swell is a powerful 9.8ft to 11.5ft with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (5247 to 6626), but it's just a lumpy, rainy mess. Leave it for another day.
Friday the 1st of August is where it starts to get interesting. The wind finally swings offshore, and the swell is still pumping. The morning has an 11.5ft SW swell, but the real standout is the Saturday afternoon. We're looking at a 14.8ft SW groundswell (combined energy of 9044) with a clean, cross-off breeze. This is big, powerful, and lined up. That's expert territory, no doubt, and for a reef break like Pea Break, that long 15-second period will be cranking. It's going to be a serious session for those who can handle it. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so get there early.
The swell drops back a touch on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is a bit chopped, but the Sunday afternoon is a glassy gem. A 9.8ft SW swell with a 13-second period and absolutely no wind. The combined energy is still a solid 2601, and the conditions will be pristine. That's your best window for a slightly more manageable, but still solid, session.
From Monday the 3rd of August, the wind goes onshore again and stays on and off. The swell is consistent, but the quality takes a nosedive. There are a few cleaner windows, like the Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon with an 11.5ft SW swell and a very long 17-second period and a clean cross-off breeze (combined energy 6115), but it's a long way out. The week of the 5th to the 10th of August is mostly blown out with strong winds and massive swell, hitting 21.3ft on the weekend of the 8th and 9th. That's way too big for anything but a survival mission.
The second week has a few more promising notes. The 12th of August shows a clean window, and the 13th of August is smaller but still a bit onshore. Overall, the first weekend is where the magic is.
Short Range ForecastLight rain (total 7mm), mostly falling on Fri afternoon. Very mild (max 18°C on Thu afternoon, min 13°C on Fri night). Winds increasing (light winds from the NNW on Thu night, strong winds from the WSW by Fri night). | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Very mild (max 16°C on Mon afternoon, min 9°C on Sun morning). Wind will be generally light. | |||||||||||||||||||

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.
