The Lowdown
Imperial Version
Alright mates, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Peak Rock are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some moments that’ll get the blood pumping. We’ve got a solid run of SSW groundswell pushing through, but the wind’s gonna be the main character in this story.
Right now, Thursday morning the 30th of July is nothing to write home about. We’ve got a 7ft SW swell in the water, period at a nice 13 seconds, but that cross-shore wind from the WSW at 16 mph is putting a chop on it. Combined energy is strong at 1792, but it’s messy. Same story into the afternoon.
Friday morning the 31st of July is where it starts to look interesting. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the wind spins around to the NNW at only 6 mph and goes offshore. That’s gonna clean things right up, and with a 12-second period, it’ll have some push. It’s not big, but it’ll be beautiful. The energy is moderate at 592.
Now, Saturday the 1st of August is a bit of a standout. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore from the N, but the real gem is Saturday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the SW, and the period stretches out to a lovely 17 seconds – proper long-period groundswell. The wind goes offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is very strong at 1982. This is going to be excellent for experienced surfers. Peak Rock is a reef break, and that long-period swell will really focus up on it.
Sunday the 2nd of August stays fun in the morning with a clean 6ft SW and offshore N wind, but that wind is a fresh breeze at 22 mph, so it’ll be a bit more of a handful.
Looking further out, Friday morning the 7th of August is another one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got an 8ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is forecast to be glassy from the SE at just 3 mph. That is as clean as it gets, but 8ft is getting up there – one for the experienced crew. The combined energy is a solid 2367.
After that, we go into a stretch of fresh to strong offshore winds and dropping swell, which means less quality and more wind chop. The end of the second week into the 14th of August shows a drop in swell to under 3ft with a very long 21-second period, but the cross-shore wind is nasty and strong at 25 mph, making a mess of it.
So, for the pick of the fortnight? Saturday afternoon the 1st of August and Friday morning the 7th of August are your best bets. Saturday for that classic long-period groundswell with offshore wind, and Friday for the glassy, powerful walls. It’s a reef break, so keep your head on a swivel for the sets. Water temp is sitting around 56°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
Rusty.

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.
