The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Let's talk about Peak Rock.
We've got a solid stretch of surf coming up, but it's not for everyone. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The first real action kicks off Friday the 4th. We're looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 5168, so there's some serious power in the water. Wind is a moderate offshore from the NW, keeping things clean. This is excellent, but with that size, it's strictly for the experienced crew. Crowds are a possibility here, so pick your peak wisely.
Saturday the 5th stays big, but the wind gets nasty. Strong offshore from the NW at 28 mph will make it nearly impossible to paddle into and the conditions are just plain messy. Not worth it.
The swell drops a bit through Sunday and Monday, but the wind stays messy. Tuesday the 8th, though, is a real standout. The swell drops to a clean 4ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the NNW. The energy is still a solid 1840, meaning the waves will have shape and push. This is a morning session to circle on the calendar. Clean, glassy waves at a manageable size.
We get another window of glassy conditions on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th mornings. The swell is a bit bigger than Tuesday, around 6ft to 7ft, with a 15-second period. The energy is good, around 1654. Another fantastic option for the intermediate and above crew.
The second week looks a bit more hit and miss. Monday the 14th has a fresh offshore wind, but the swell is all over the place. There's a big jump in size on Thursday the 17th, with a 20ft to 21ft SW swell. The combined energy is astronomical (over 30,000), but the forecast says it's just too big for this break. That's a day for the bravest of the brave or to watch from the cliff.
Friday the 18th still has a very large 13ft swell from the SW, but with a light onshore wind. The energy is massive at 15173. It's a marginal call, but for the hardcore, it could be a wild ride.
In short, the best windows are the glassy mornings of September 8th, 11th and 12th. The big swell days are for experts only, especially the 17th and 18th.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, lads.

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.
