The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for Pea Break for the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, but you’re going to need to pick your moments. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than what we’d normally expect for this time of year.

The action kicks off on Thursday morning, the 13th of August, and it’s a ripper for the experts. Pea Break is serving up a solid 13ft SW groundswell, with a very long 16-second period, and it’s glassy with a light easterly breeze. The energy is pumping hard (7979). This is a reef break, and with that much power and period, it’s going to be grinding, but it’s strictly for the advanced crew. The afternoon cleans up even more with a light cross-off, keeping things absolutely spotless.

Friday the 14th starts a bit messier with a NE cross-breeze and 12ft swell, but the afternoon is where it’s at. The wind goes glassy again, backing off to nothing from the WNW, and you’ve still got 10ft of long-period SW swell (4239). That’s a beautiful window for experienced surfers who can handle a reef.

Saturday the 15th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and dropping swell under 8ft. Don’t waste your time. Sunday the 16th is worse, with a fresh breeze making it lumpy and choppy, and it stays poor through Monday the 17th as a near-gale rips across the water.

The real standout in this whole run comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. Morning brings a 16ft SW swell, 16-second period, with just a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy is monstrous (11209) and it’s fair to say this is the best on offer. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory. It’s going to be a sight to see, but if you’re not at that level, stay on the sand.

The middle of the week from the 19th to the 22nd is a write-off again thanks to strong winds, rain, and blown-out conditions. We get a slight reprieve on Friday the 21st with clean cross-off winds and 15ft swell, but it’s still marginal.

Look ahead to Monday the 24th of August and we’ve got a glassy morning with a light southerly, 12ft SW swell. It’s clean and a good size for experienced surfers. Then Tuesday the 25th is another potential highlight: 13ft of SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and clean conditions with that SSW cross-off (8363 energy). That’s the second standout in the pack. The following days ease off around the 26th and 27th, dropping to 8ft and below, with winds picking up again.

Friday the 28th of August finishes the run with a massive 16ft WNW swell, but it’s choppy and crossed-up. Too messy to call a standout, but the size is there for the madmen.

So, to boil it down: Thursday morning the 13th and Tuesday morning the 18th are your gold tickets. The 18th is the biggest and best. After that, Tuesday the 25th morning is a great consolation prize. Be patient through the grotty spells.

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.
