The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way for Peak Rock.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, but it’s going to take a bit of patience to get to the good stuff. Right now, through Thursday the 3rd, conditions are a write-off with that strong west wind making a mess of things. The swell is a thumping 10ft to 12ft from the WSW, but with that fresh breeze, it’s just not worth paddling out.
Now, Friday the 4th is where it starts to get interesting. That’s your standout morning. We’ve got a clean 10ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the NNW. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is an intermediate-level wave, but with that size, the combined wave energy is strong (5168). It’s a reef setup, so it’ll handle that long-period energy well.
Saturday the 5th is a write-off – that near-gale force wind is going to turn things into a washing machine. Then Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are small and iffy.
Tuesday the 8th morning is worth another look. The swell drops to 4ft, but that period stretches to a very long 18 seconds, and it's clean with light WNW winds. Combined energy is moderate (1737). It’s a low-impact, clean day for a longer board.
The following Thursday the 10th morning brings another big pulse of 10ft SW swell at 18 seconds, combined energy hitting very high (6724). The wind is light cross-off from the west, so it’ll be clean. This is a solid, powerful window for more experienced surfers.
Further out, the second week looks lumpy with onshore winds and poor conditions until Wednesday the 16th afternoon. That afternoon sees a massive 12ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, combined energy soaring to 8405. The wind is strong offshore from the northwest, making it clean but challenging to paddle into. That one’s for the experts only, and it’s still a fair way out, so keep an eye on it.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th is messy with strong breeze issues. The following Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are also pretty sloppy. So, your best bets are Friday the 4th morning, Tuesday the 8th morning, and keep a very close watch on Thursday the 10th morning and Wednesday the 16th afternoon for the bigger, cleaner swells.
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.
