The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Peak Rock. This forecast has some serious juice.
We start off slow. The first chance to surf is Friday, July 31st, but it’s a no-go – a 4ft SW swell with a cross breeze and poor quality. Not worth it. The real kick-off is Saturday morning, August 1st. Clean conditions with a light north-northeast breeze, waves around 4ft from the SW with a 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate (809), and the water temp is about 56°, which is normal for the season. It’s a fun, clean wave for the intermediates.
The absolute standout is Saturday afternoon, August 1st. The wind goes offshore from the north-northwest, making it glassy. The swell is 6ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy is massive (2005). This is an excellent wave, but at 6ft with that power, it’s for the experienced crew only. Peak Rock is a reef, so those long-period waves will be lined up beautifully.
Sunday, August 2nd, keeps the 6ft SW swell, but the wind is a strong offshore from the north at 22 mph. It’s clean, but that breeze is a grind to paddle into, and the surface gets a bit choppy. It’s only marginal.
Monday and Tuesday (August 3rd and 4th) are a washout. Strong winds, rain, and poor surf. The swell hits 8ft on Tuesday morning, but with a short period and cross-off winds, it’s a mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not surfing.
Things settle mid-week, but nothing special until Friday morning, August 7th. Another clean morning, waves around 4ft from the SW, a 15-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. This is a very good, clean wave for experienced surfers, with strong energy (1379).
The second week gets wild. A big swell arrives Monday, August 10th, with a 8ft WSW swell, but it’s hammered by a 25 mph offshore wind. Hard to paddle into. Tuesday, August 11th, sees a massive 12ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and insane energy (5522). That’s expert-only territory, and with a strong cross-off breeze, it’s going to be a battle.
The best of the second week is Friday afternoon, August 14th. An 8ft WSW swell, a 13-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze from the northwest. The energy is a massive 4305, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a serious session. Then Saturday afternoon, August 15th, is a perfect finisher. Another 8ft SW swell, this time with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. Energy is 3319. A perfect, clean, powerful groundswell on a reef. If you’re experienced, circle that one, but it’s a long way out, so keep checking.
The standout overall is still Saturday, August 1st, for the mix of clean conditions and building swell. The 14th and 15th are the heavy-hitters if you’ve got the skills.
Rusty out.

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.
