Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Peak Rock over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a wait for the real good stuff. The first few days are all about size, but the wind is a mess. Sunday the 12th is a write-off – 25 mph cross-off wind and a 10 ft swell that’s just too messy to bother with. That’s a no-go.
Monday the 13th is a bit of a tease. The morning has a solid 12 ft southwest swell, period 15 seconds, and offshore wind, but that wind is a strong 28 mph. It’s clean, but it’s a brute to paddle into. The combined energy is massive (5397), but it’s for experts only. Afternoon is the same story with a cross-off wind.
Tuesday the 14th is the standout of the first week. The morning is looking prime with an 12 ft groundswell (16 second period) from the WSW, clean conditions, and a fresh breeze. That’s a proper wave. The energy is huge (12333). The afternoon is similar with a 13 ft wave and lighter wind. This is the best window of the whole run. Water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, the swell drops. Wednesday the 15th is smaller and the wind goes cross-shore, making it choppy. Thursday the 16th through Saturday the 18th has clean, lighter winds, with the swell dropping from 7 ft down to 5 ft. A couple of glassy afternoons in there which will be fun for the longboard or a fish, but the energy is dropping off fast (632-1807). Not a standout.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are weak. Swell is below 4 ft, and while the wind is offshore, the energy is just too low (around 434-920) to get excited about.
Then, Tuesday the 21st brings a bit of a pulse. A 7 ft WSW swell with a 14 second period. Offshore wind and clean conditions. The energy is back up (1719). This is a solid runner-up, but it’s still a week and a half away.
The rest of that week is small and mediocre, dropping to 3 ft by Thursday the 23rd. But then, Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th have a serious spike in the forecast. Friday the 24th morning has a tiny 3 ft wave but with a 20-second period! That’s an incredibly long groundswell. It will be clean and very lined up, but that period is so long it might just go straight at a beach break. It’s a reef here, so it could be a gem. The energy is low (754) for that height.
The real second-week prize is Saturday the 25th. Morning and afternoon both have a clean 7 ft southwest swell with a 16-second period, light offshore wind, and high energy (2193). That’s the one to circle.
The final run from the 26th turns messy again. The swell drops, and the wind picks back up, with a short 8-second period on the 27th that’s just wind chop.
So, if you’re picking a day, Tuesday the 14th is the absolute winner – big, clean, and powerful. For a later date, keep an eye on Saturday the 25th. The rest is a mix of too big with bad wind, or too small.
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.
