The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up at Peak Rock. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, but it starts a bit slow.

The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are pretty average, with a messy cross-onshore wind and combined wave energy climbing from 955 up to 1436, but the conditions are just too choppy. Thursday the 27th is where it starts to get interesting. The wind swings offshore and even goes glassy in the afternoon, cleaning up a 4ft to 4ft SW swell. The energy drops to 485-565, but the waves will be clean and fun, perfect for a longboard or a mid-length.

Friday the 28th sees a jump in size with a 7ft WSW swell pushing through the morning, but the 20 km/h cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. The combined energy is a meaty 3426, and that 13-second period means proper lines. The afternoon turns a bit messy with the wind swinging onshore. Saturday the 29th is the real gem of the first week. Absolutely glassy morning with a 5ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The energy is 1130, and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to get wet for. Sunday the 30th is also clean with offshore winds and a 4ft SW swell, but a bit smaller.

Now, Monday the 31st of August is a standout. We’re looking at 8ft of SW groundswell, with a 17-second period and a combined energy of 4243. That’s a serious swell. The wind is offshore at 15 km/h, keeping it clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – it’s going to be solid, powerful, and a bit intimidating for beginners. The afternoon is still clean at 8ft.

Tuesday the 1st of September is still good, with 5ft and offshore winds, but the energy is dropping. Then we hit a bit of a lull mid-week, with Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd being blown out or onshore and messy. Friday the 4th of September brings another nice window: 6ft to 6ft of SW swell, glassy in the afternoon, with energy around 1436-1708. That’s clean and fun.

Looking further out, Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September get big. Saturday has 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a near gale, 50 km/h offshore. That’s going to be howling and hard to paddle into, even if it’s clean. Sunday the 6th is even bigger, with 12ft to 15ft of SW swell, but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy – this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Monday the 7th of September is the big show: 15ft of WSW swell, 17-second period, and a combined energy of 20539. The wind is light offshore, so it’s clean, but this is only for experts. That’s a massive, powerful swell. The afternoon drops to 13ft, still clean and exceptional for those who can handle it.

The energy starts to taper off after that, with Tuesday the 8th still holding 10ft and 19-second period, but the wind picks up to 25 km/h. By Wednesday the 9th, it’s a blowout with 50 km/h cross-onshore winds.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best windows are Saturday the 29th of August for a mellow, glassy session, and Monday the 31st of August for a proper, powerful groundswell. If you’re an expert, the 7th of September is a monster that’s worth watching, but it’s a long-range call and less certain.

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.
