The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Pea Break.
The next few days are pretty flat and messy. Sunday the 23rd has 8ft swell from the SW (13 seconds) with a cross-off wind at 12 mph – clean but marginal. Combined energy is 2601 (moderate). Not a standout. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are write-offs with onshore winds and poor conditions – Monday has 10ft WSW swell but straight onshore, Tuesday gets ugly with 22–25 mph onshore winds and 12ft swell.
Wednesday the 26th morning is the big one. 16ft swell from the WSW with a very long 18-second period, energy 15320 (very strong). Wind is SSE at 12 mph and offshore, so clean. This is expert-only – way too big for beginners. Water temp is 66°, a touch warmer than usual. The afternoon stays clean with 16ft swell, cross-off wind.
Thursday the 27th drops to 12ft from the SW (15 seconds) with cross-off winds at 19 mph – clean but not as good. Friday the 28th morning has 7ft SW swell (12 seconds) with offshore winds at 12 mph – excellent for experienced surfers, energy 1455 (moderate). The afternoon goes cross-off and smaller.
Saturday the 29th morning has 6ft SW groundswell (16 seconds) with a gentle cross-off, energy 3583 – clean. The afternoon jumps to 10ft with 15 seconds, energy 4698, still clean.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are mixed. Sunday morning has 10ft from the WSW (16 seconds) but cross-shore wind, so choppy. Monday the 31st morning is a good small-wave window – 5ft WSW groundswell (17 seconds) with a clean cross-off, energy 2925.
From Tuesday the 1st of September, things get patchy. Tuesday has 8ft WSW swells but cross-on winds. Wednesday the 2nd is a total loss with near-gale winds (31 mph) and blown-out surf. Thursday the 3rd afternoon is good – 10ft WSW (12 seconds) with a clean cross-off, energy 2521, excellent for experienced surfers.
Friday the 4th afternoon is another standout: 15ft from the WSW with a 16-second period, light cross-shore wind, energy 10305 (very strong). That’s a powerful swell with light wind – could be epic.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th hold 12–15ft swells with cross-off or light cross-shore winds – solid and clean.
Monday the 7th of September is a monster: 21ft from the WSW with a 20-second period, energy 29861 – extreme. Wind is clean, but it’s simply too big for Pea Break. Not for the faint-hearted.
Best on offer: Wednesday the 26th morning for the big clean groundswell and Friday the 4th afternoon for the long-period power with light winds.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
