Alright, Rusty here with the surf talk for Peak Rock, but in feet for you.

The first couple days are a no-go. Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th are blown out with strong winds and choppy, messy conditions. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.

Monday July 6th starts to turn around. Morning sees a clean 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-off breeze. Moderate wave energy (1019). The afternoon glassed off with the wind dropping to 5 km/h, swell easing to 4ft but still clean and smooth.

Tuesday July 7th morning stays clean, a smaller 3ft SW swell but with a very long 17-second period. Light cross-off wind from the NNE, energy still moderate (857). Aim for early; afternoon gets an onshore breeze.

Wednesday July 8th afternoon is a prime session. A light NNE cross-off breeze, swell pumping to 7ft from the SW with an 18-second period. Energy is strong (2768). This is for experienced surfers – a powerful, clean wave with plenty of push.

Thursday July 9th through Friday July 10th hold very good conditions. Clean cross-off winds, SW swell between 4ft and 5ft, 15-16 second periods. Nice lines, moderate energy, and shape.

The weekend of July 11th and 12th drops off with small weak swell, then Sunday gets blasted by a strong 45 km/h offshore that’s too windy and small to enjoy.

Monday through Wednesday, July 13th to 15th, is mostly messy or cross-onshore.

Then look to Thursday July 16th afternoon. Clean 8ft SW swell, 14-second period, gentle cross-off. Strong wave energy (2559). That’s a solid session for the experienced.

Friday July 17th and Saturday July 18th are for experts. Friday morning brings 10ft SW swell, 14 seconds, moderate offshore, energy at 3682. Friday afternoon hits a huge 13ft, 15-second period, fresh offshore, energy roaring at 7701. Saturday holds 12ft and 10ft but with very strong winds.

For the best spells, I’d go with Wednesday July 8th afternoon for the clean 7ft with that long period, and Thursday July 16th afternoon for the strong, clean 8ft. Water temp sits around 58°F, about a degree and a half warmer than the long-term average.

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.
