The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, talkin’ about Peak Rock. This reef break’s got a mixed forecast over the next couple weeks, but there’s a few good windows for intermediate surfers. Water temp is about 57°F – pretty normal for July.
Kicks off Tuesday July 14 with a solid 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, but wind is blowin’ 25 mph from the west, cross-off. Combined energy is huge at 9929 – powerful stuff but messy. Afternoon gets worse with cross-shore wind and rain. Not the call.
Wednesday 15: swell drops to 8ft, still SW, 14 sec. Wind lightens to a moderate westerly, clean enough but nothing special. Thursday 16: 7ft, light cross-winds, just okay.
Then Friday July 17 – that’s the one. Morning: clear, light offshore from NNW at 6 mph, 7ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Combined energy strong at 2278. Clean, excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon holds with 8ft and 17-second swell, glassy cross-off. Best of the whole stretch – get out there.
Saturday July 18 afternoon: glassy with a light easterly breeze, 5ft of SW swell at 14 seconds. Energy moderate (816), but buttery smooth. Crowds sometimes, so expect a few others.
After that, it fades. Sunday 19: 3ft morning, then 3ft afternoon – glassy but tiny. Next week (July 20–22): waist-high SW swell (3–4ft) with clean offshore winds most days – okay for small waves. Thursday 23 and Friday 24: smaller, with strong offshore winds (25 mph) on Friday making it hard to paddle. Weekend July 25–26: strong cross-shore, lumpy – skip it. Monday 27: strong offshore again, too windy. Tuesday 28 morning: 4ft, moderate offshore, clean – maybe a sneaky session. Wednesday 29: cross-on and choppy, no good.
Standouts: Friday July 17 and Saturday July 18 afternoon. Rest is either too big and windy or too small. Peak Rock’s fairly consistent, so it’ll turn around eventually.
Rusty.

Information about the Peak Rock Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Peak Rock provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Peak Rock can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Peak Rock 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 (Peak Rock) 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 Peak Rock 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.
Peak Rock is 25 km (16 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Mornington Peninsula, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
