Table - best surf conditions forecast for Peak Rock over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day forecast for your local spot. We’ve got a bit of a wait for the good stuff, but it’s gonna be worth it.
The very start is a no-go. Sunday the 12th has 8ft to 12ft of swell, but it’s getting trashed by strong winds, making it ugly. Monday the 13th is the same story – big, raw energy but cross-off winds making it a fight. The water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year.
The real action starts on Tuesday the 14th. The morning at Peak Rock shows an 12ft WSW swell with a 15-second period. The combined energy is 12406 (strong to very strong), so that’s a lot of water moving. The wind is cross-off, and with a 7 rating, this is the best of the run. It’s a big groundswell, so you’ll want your big board and a strong paddle. This is for the experienced crew.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th stay excellent. Thursday morning the 16th has a 6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period and light offshore winds. Then Thursday afternoon goes glassy with a 7ft swell and zero wind. The energy is moderate (1873), but the conditions are perfect. The forecast calls it ‘excellent for experienced surfers’ and that’s spot on.
Friday the 17th keeps the dream alive with clean, glassy conditions and a 8ft SW swell. The period is a long 16 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. Peak Rock is a reef, so it will handle that long period beautifully. The crowds are ‘sometimes’, so you might have a few out, but nothing crazy.
After that, the size drops. Saturday the 18th is fun but smaller, around 4ft to 5ft with offshore winds. Then we hit a mellow spell from Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 23rd. The swell dips below 3ft, and even with offshore winds, there’s just not enough wave. The energy drops into the low hundreds, which is weak.
Toward the end, Friday the 24th brings a new pulse of very long-period swell (18 to 19 seconds), but the wind is screaming from the NW at 25 mph. It’s strong offshore, which makes it clean but a nightmare to paddle into. The energy is moderate (1326). Saturday the 25th has a 7ft SW swell, but again, strong cross-off winds make it a tough session. The last days, Sunday and Monday the 26th and 27th, go flat and poor.
Your best bets are Tuesday the 14th for raw power and Thursday the 16th for glassy perfection. Skip the first few days and wait for that mid-week window.
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.
