The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Peak Rock over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of SW groundswell on the way, but it’s going to be a mixed bag with the wind. The standout is going to be Friday afternoon, September 4th. We’re looking at a clean 10 ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the NNW at 12 mph. That’s a recipe for some serious, well-shaped waves. The combined energy is pumping at 4662 (moderate to strong), and the tide conditions look right for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is a bit of a write-off with 19 mph cross-off winds and a messy 10 ft, but the afternoon picks up to 12 ft from the SW, still with a cross-off wind. The energy jumps to 7399 (strong), but it’s going to be a bit lumpy. Not the best, but big.
By Friday morning, September 4th, we get that sweet offshore wind. The swell is 12 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is 5069. It’s big, clean, and for the experienced crew only.
Sunday afternoon, September 6th, is a sneaky good one. The swell drops to 7 ft from the SW, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE at 3 mph. The energy is 1606 (moderate), and the conditions will be perfect for a longer board. A real gem.
The following week looks promising but less certain. Tuesday morning, September 8th, is glassy with a 4 ft, 18-second period swell from the SW. That’s a very long period groundswell, which will wrap around the reef beautifully. The energy is 1457 (moderate), and it’s a good call for a dawn patrol.
Then on Wednesday morning, September 16th, we get another shot of offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, with a 7 ft SW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is 1974 (moderate). It’s clean and should be a lot of fun.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit change.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 9th to the 15th, with strong onshore winds and big, messy 13 ft to 16 ft swells. The energy hits 13021 on the 10th (very strong), but it’s just a washing machine. That’s more of a kite-surfing wind than a paddle session.
Stay on it, and grab that Friday afternoon and the glassy Sunday morning.
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.
