The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a classic case of too much of a good thing out at Pea Break. This reef setup is an advanced-only zone, and over the next couple of weeks, it’s gonna be flexing some serious muscle.
The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
The first thing you need to know: the surf is *massive* right off the bat. Saturday morning, the 8th of August, Pea Break is seeing a 23-foot SW groundswell with a 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 20605 (moderate to strong wave energy). The wind is howling from the SSW at 31 mph, which is a cross-off, so the face will be clean, but the paddle out is going to be a battle. Honestly, this is too big for everyone except the absolute top-tier chargers. The swell drops a touch on the 9th, but it’s still 16 feet and the wind swings cross-shore, making it a lumpy mess. Sunday afternoon drops to 15 feet, but the cross-on wind kills it.
Monday the 10th through the 12th is a write-off. The wind is either a near-gale or a fresh breeze, and the sea state is chopped up. The energy is there, but the quality is zero.
Now, keep your eyes on Thursday the 13th of August. That morning, the wind goes completely glassy, dead calm. The swell is a solid 13 feet out of the SW, with a 15-second period. The energy is a healthy 6605 (moderate). For the experienced crew, that is a window of absolute perfection. The waves will be clean, lined up, and powerful. Expect crowds here, as it’s sometimes busy, and for good reason.
After that, it’s a mixed bag. The 14th and 15th see the swell backing off to the 8 to 12-foot range, but the wind is messy. The 17th of August (Monday) looks promising again – a 15-foot SW groundswell (17-second period) with a clean cross-off breeze from the S. The energy is 12321 (moderate). That’s a solid morning.
The second week gets wild again. The 18th and 19th see the swell jump back to 21 feet, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it blown out. The 19th actually has some light wind, but it’s a cross-on, so it’s going to be lumpy. The 23rd of August (Sunday) is the final standout. A massive 25-foot SW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW. The energy is an insane 31936 (strong wave energy). Again, way too big for most, but for the elite, it’s a world-class day.
The best on offer: Without a doubt, Thursday morning, the 13th of August is your standout. 13-foot SW swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions. It’s a recipe for perfection at Pea Break for the advanced surfers.
The other call: Monday morning, the 17th of August is a very solid second option. 15-foot SW groundswell, 17-second period, and clean cross-off wind. It’s a great session.
Remember, if you’re not a pro, stay out of the water when it's over 8 feet. This is a reef, and it’s no joke.
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.
