The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Peak Rock over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the surf is a bit slow to start, but things are building. The first real action kicks off Thursday morning, August 27th, with a clean 4ft SW swell at 12 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the NW, keeping it glassy. The combined energy is moderate (485), making for a fun, mellow session. This is a nice one to ease into.
The standout for the whole period, though, is Monday, August 31st. The morning brings a clean 7ft SW swell at 14 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NNW. The afternoon goes absolutely glassy, with a 6ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The energy is pumping (2020 and 2193), and this is top-tier intermediate conditions. If you can get out there, this is the day.
The second week is where it gets serious. From September 6th, a massive SW groundswell rolls in. Sunday the 6th is pure magic for experts only. The morning has a 15ft WSW swell at 14 seconds, and the afternoon hits 16ft SW at 16 seconds with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is insane (8560 and 17119). This is not for the faint of heart. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
From September 8th through the 11th, the swell holds strong between 8ft and 13ft, largely from the SW. The winds are mostly offshore or cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy values are in the strong to very strong range (2453 to 8868). This is a solid run of big, powerful reef waves for experienced surfers. The long period (15-17 seconds) means it’s a proper groundswell, so expect long lulls between sets, but the waves that come will be well-shaped at this reef.
The first few days of September are a bit wind-affected, so not the best quality. Overall, the first week is for intermediates, and the second week is a playground for the experts.
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.
