Table - best surf conditions forecast for Peak Rock over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Peak Rock.
The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 15th. You’ve got a clean 8ft SW swell with a long 15-second period, glassy conditions, and wave energy sitting at 2742. That’s a reef-working swell with perfect wind. The crowds can show up here sometimes, but for a morning like that, it’s worth sharing. This one’s for intermediates.
Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th sees the swell drop off quick. Conditions turn messy and the energy bottoms out at 267 on Wednesday morning. That’s a few days of small, clean but barely rideable waves.
Friday the 21st picks back up with a clean 4ft SW swell, light cross-off breeze, and energy at 779. Nice and tidy, but the next real highlight is Monday the 24th. That morning brings a clean 7ft SW groundswell, moderate offshore wind from the NW, and energy cranking at 1902. Conditions are excellent, but this one’s for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 25th gets big – 13ft SW swell – but the period drops to 10 seconds and the wind goes messy. Wednesday the 26th is even bigger, with 11 to 13ft SSW swell and energy up to 5014, but again, cross-shore wind and chop. That’s kite territory, not paddle.
The window finishes strong on Saturday the 29th. Morning offers a clean 6ft SW swell with offshore wind and energy at 1704 – excellent for experienced surfers. Saturday afternoon goes glassy with a 5ft SW swell.
Water temp is running about average for this time of year at 56°.
Best bets: Saturday the 15th for clean, fun surf, and Monday the 24th for a bigger, more serious session.
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.
