The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Pea Break over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a bit of a rough start. The first few days are a write-off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a mess with strong, cross and onshore winds and big, lumpy conditions. Sunday afternoon actually sees a massive pulse of swell – 18 feet from the SW – but it’s just too big for this spot, even with favorable wind and tide. You’d be a fool to paddle out there.
The real story starts to turn on Monday the 27th. The wind eases right back, switching to a gentle offshore from the SSE by the afternoon. That 10-foot SW swell cleans right up, and we’re looking at excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy is pumping at 2791 – that’s potent, well-formed groundswell with a 12-second period, perfect for a reef setup like this. Tuesday the 28th keeps that clean vibe going, with a 10-foot swell and light offshore winds, but the tide might make it a little tricky. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are both clean with cross-offshore breezes, offering 7 to 7 feet of SW groundswell – really solid, shapey waves for those who know what they’re doing.
The standout window, without a doubt, is Monday the 27th afternoon through Thursday the 30th. The quality is just there – clean, offshore winds, consistent head-high-to-overhead swell, and that long-period groundswell wrapping in nicely. It’s an advanced break, so expect some competition, but that’s the price of admission for waves this good.
After that, we hit a bit of a lull. Friday the 31st is marginal with a cross-shore wind, and then Saturday the 1st of August gets blown out again with strong onshores and a huge 13-foot swell – just ugly. Sunday the 2nd is messy with rain showers and a cross-shore wind, though there’s still a solid 10-foot SW groundswell in the water. The real nugget is hiding a week and a half out. Saturday the 8th of August shows a clean, cross-offshore wind with a 15-foot SW swell and a combined energy of 13505 – that’s massive. Then Sunday the 9th of August is the big one: 15-foot SW groundswell with a 17-second period, clean with a light offshore breeze, and exceptional conditions for expert surfers. That’s a serious, long-period groundswell that will be nothing short of epic on this reef. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
So, overall, we’ve got a tough start, a killer run from the 27th to the 30th, and then another potential monster waiting for us on the 9th of August. Keep your eyes on that date.
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.
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.
