The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the way here at Peak Rock, a reef setup that loves a clean SSW pulse. The water’s sitting at 56°F right now, which is bang on average for the time of year – nothing freaky, just normal.

The first real action kicks off Saturday morning, August 8th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW. This is the kind of session you paddle out for – the combined energy is strong at 1290, and the conditions are set to be very good. It’s a consistent spot, so you’ll get your share, but watch out for the crowds as it can get busy.

Sunday the 9th is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and ramps up strong, making a mess of things. Poor surf, just leave the board in the car.

Monday the 10th brings a jump in size – 6ft of SW swell, period stretching to 19 seconds. The energy is pumping hard at 2621, and it’s fresh offshore. That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell that will be lining up nicely on the reef, but it’s getting into the zone where it’s no longer a beginner wave. More for the experienced crew.

The middle of the week gets a bit tricky. Tuesday the 11th is clean and offshore, but swell drops a little. Wednesday the 12th sees an 8ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is cross-off and messy. That’s a lot of power (3371 energy) but it’s not the cleanest picture. By Thursday the 13th, we’re hitting 10ft. That’s big, expert-only territory. The morning is cross-off, but the afternoon has a cross-shore chop. The energy is massive (4840) – this is more of a spectacle than a comfortable paddle.

The next few days through the 15th and 16th remain in the 6ft+ range, but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it marginal. The real standout on the horizon is Saturday, August 22nd. The afternoon session looks like the pick of the entire run. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell, a 17-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy is 1890, and the forecast is calling for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

After that, Sunday the 23rd still has some swell, but the wind gets strong again – screaming offshore which will keep it clean, but it’ll be a battle to get out and hold your position.

So, overall, we’ve got a fantastic stretch of groundswell. The call is easy: get out for the Saturday morning of the 8th for the best all-rounder, and if you’ve got the experience, lock in the afternoon of the 22nd of August for the real standout session.

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.
