The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at our local spot.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow build, but there’s a promising window opening up. The first real standout is Friday morning, August 7th at Peak Rock. We’ve got a solid 5ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light WNW cross-off at 6 mph. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The combined energy is pumping at 1332, so there’s quality juice in the water. It’s clean, with a bit of power, and it’s calling for intermediate surfers. It’s a reef setup, so you’ll get good shape. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Friday afternoon looks even better – the wind drops to glassy, the swell holds at 5ft, and the energy jumps to 1643. That’s the best session of the short-term. For experienced surfers, it’s proper.

Now, Saturday morning (August 8th) gets tricky. The swell is still 5ft, but the wind swings to a strong N at 16 mph, and the quality drops off. The afternoon is a bit better with a light offshore, but still marginal. Sunday is a write-off with 25 mph winds. We’ve got a big gap of poor conditions from Saturday afternoon through to Monday.

Things get hairy on Monday (August 10th) – a big 7ft to 8ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period, but the wind is howling 28-31 mph. That’s a total mess, not for surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Tuesday (August 11th) is still blown out by strong offshore winds, making it hard to paddle into, though the swell is a clean 6ft. It’s a tough one.

Now, the real standout in the longer range is Thursday morning, August 13th. We’re looking at a pumping 13ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, with a WNW cross-off breeze at 19 mph. The combined energy is massive at 11440. This is big, powerful swell. Anything over 8ft is only for experts, so this is for the experienced crew only. The wind is clean, but with that size, it’s going to be heavy. It’s a promising window, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it.

The energy drops a bit through the 14th and 15th, but remains solid. By Monday morning, August 17th, we get a nice reset. A 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and light NNE cross-off winds at 6 mph. Very clean, very surfable, and the energy is 858. That’s a good, fun size for intermediates.

The run continues into Tuesday, August 18th with a 5ft swell and glassy conditions by the afternoon. Wednesday, August 19th is also a gem – a 4ft SW swell with a light offshore N breeze, and the energy is 966. Clean, fun waves.

So, the best on offer is the Friday afternoon glass-off on August 7th, and the big Thursday morning on August 13th for the experts. There’s a gap of poor surf from the 8th to the 10th, but it cleans up nicely after that.

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.
