Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Peak Rock. It’s a reef setup that’s fairly consistent, and we’re about to see a proper run of swell through the second week, but you’ve got to be patient. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

The immediate outlook is a bit of a write-off. This Sunday, the 5th of July, we’ve got a messy 10 ft SW swell with a 17-second period, but an ESE breeze is mushing it all up. The combined energy is a massive 6014, but with poor surf conditions, it’s just a lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out.

Things turn around nicely on Monday the 6th. The swell drops back to a clean 5 ft from the SW (14-second period) with a light NNE cross-off breeze in the morning, and it’s glassy by the afternoon with a 4 ft SW swell. The energy sits around 1020 and 730, so it’s mellow but clean. This is your window for a proper session.

Tuesday the 7th stays clean in the morning with a 3 ft SW swell (17-second period) and a light NE cross-off, but the afternoon gets a bit iffy with a 5 ft onshore wind. Wednesday the 8th starts cross-shore, but the afternoon is the real standout here: a glassy, 7 ft SW swell with an 18-second period. The energy is 2951, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the pick of the first week – a long period groundswell with clean conditions.

Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th are a solid run of clean 4 ft to 5 ft SW swells with light offshores. Very good, consistent, but nothing massive.

The weekend of the 11th and 12th gets blown out. A strong 25 mph north offshore on Saturday the 11th makes it hard to paddle into, even if it’s clean. The swell is only 4 ft to 7 ft but the wind is brutal. Sunday the 12th has a bigger 8 ft to 10 ft SW swell but it’s cross-off with a fresh breeze, so it’s only marginal.

Now we hit the real heavy stuff. Monday the 13th of July is building, with the afternoon having a 12 ft SW swell (19-second period) and energy readings of 11403. It’s clean with a cross-off breeze, but that size is for experts only. That’s a very long period groundswell. It will be powerful but might be a bit fat and straight for a reef break like this. Tuesday the 14th stays big at 10 ft with fresh offshore wind, but it’s still in the expert zone.

It looks like the rest of the period is a mix of big, mid-period swell and strong winds, with a final clean, smaller window on Friday the 17th with 4 ft to 5 ft SW swells and moderate offshore wind.

If I had to pick the best on offer, it’s that glassy afternoon on Wednesday the 8th of July for the quality, and keep an eye on Monday the 13th’s afternoon for serious power if you’re an experienced surfer. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too big for most.

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.
