Alright, grab your board and listen up. Rusty here with a long look down the line for Peak Rock.
Right now, we're in a bit of a quiet spell. The surf is small and a bit bumpy, but don't write it off yet. We’ve got a real nice run of clean surf building from Tuesday morning, July 7th, through to Friday the 10th. That’s your window.
Tuesday morning the 7th will see a clean 3.3ft swell from the SW with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The water sits at about 57.4°, which is normal for this time of year. It’s a great way to ease in.
The real standout, the one you need to circle, is Wednesday morning, July 8th. A 4.6ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, giving you proper waves with lots of push and shape. Combined wave energy is strong at 2403. That morning has a light cross breeze, so it’ll be clean and lined up. Peaky. That’s your best chance for a good session.
The pattern holds through Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th. Thursday afternoon looks particularly glassy with a 4.3ft SW swell and light offshore wind, just perfect. Friday stays clean with a 4.9ft to 5.2ft SW swell and a consistent offshore.
Then things get hairy. From Saturday the 11th through Sunday the 12th, the wind howls from the NNW at 25 to 31 mph. The swell drops but stays around 3.9ft to 5.9ft, but it's just blown out and hard to paddle into. That won't be fun.
Later in the second week, from Wednesday July 15th onward, we see a size increase. The swell pushes 6.9ft to 7.2ft from the SW with moderate energy. The winds are lighter, and by Wednesday afternoon and Thursday the 16th, conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday afternoon is particularly special: glassy conditions with a 6.2ft SW groundswell and a period of 13 seconds. That'll be clean and powerful. But that bigger stuff, over 6.6ft, is for the experienced crew only.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday July 8th and Thursday July 9th this week. Next week, keep an eye on Thursday the 16th.

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.
