Pea Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles per hour.

We’ve got Pea Break on the radar, and it’s looking like a proper run of solid, powerful groundswell. This is an advanced reef break, so don’t even think about it if you’re not on your game. The water temp is sitting at 19°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first proper window of opportunity kicks off Wednesday morning, July 8th. We’re looking at a big 12 ft swell out of the WSW with a very long 16-second period. That’s serious energy – we’re talking 5506 in the combined energy reading, which is strong. The catch is the wind is a light cross-on from the W at 3 mph, so it won’t be perfect, but the size and power are undeniable. For the experienced crew, it’s on. Wednesday afternoon actually cleans right up, going glassy with the same 12 ft, 15-second swell. That afternoon session is the real deal: clean, powerful, and for the experts only.

Thursday the 9th is a step down. The swell drops to 10 ft, but the wind swings around to a messy cross-shore from the WSW at 9 mph. It’s going to be choppy and not the best call.

Friday the 10th has cleaner conditions with a cross-off wind, but the swell is dropping through the day from 7 ft to 6 ft and the period is getting shorter. It’s not the standout.

Now, Saturday the 11th morning is a little beauty. The swell is 8 ft out of the SW with a 13-second period, but the wind is offshore from the SSE at only 6 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf. Still solid enough that beginners should stay on the beach. This is a good window.

Sunday the 12th is where we hit the jackpot. Sunday morning kicks off with 10 ft, 15-second groundswell and light offshore winds from the SE. Clean as a whistle. But Sunday afternoon… wow. The swell holds at 10 ft, the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-off from the S at 9 mph. The combined energy hits 8198 – that’s very strong energy. This is the absolute best on offer: powerful, deep, grinding lines for the experts. It’s going to be a session to remember.

Monday the 13th keeps the fire going: 12 ft, 16-second swell, glassy conditions on the morning. Tuesday the 14th follows up with another 10 ft day and offshore winds.

We hit a rough patch from Wednesday the 15th right through to Friday the 17th. Gales, strong onshores at 22-25 mph, and rain – it’s blown out and ugly. Don’t bother. Saturday the 18th sees a big spike to 15 ft, but the morning is cross-on and choppy. The afternoon cleans up with a strong offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, but at 15 ft, that’s strictly for the hardcore chargers. Sunday the 19th stays big at 12 ft with fresh offshore winds, but the period drops to 13 seconds.

After that, the energy fades fast. From Monday the 20th through to Thursday the 23rd, the swell drops below 8 ft and the winds turn nasty again, with a near gale on the 23rd. Not worth paddling out.

The standout session is without a doubt Sunday the 12th afternoon. Big, long-period SW groundswell, clean conditions, and massive energy. Pea Break will be firing. Get on it.

Rusty.
