Table - best surf conditions forecast for Peak Rock over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Peak Rock is the spot, but it’s a slow start. The first few days are a total loss – howling wind and no quality. Things start to get interesting from Monday the 13th, but the wind is still a problem. The sweet spot opens up mid-week.
The real standout is the morning of Wednesday the 15th. The wind goes offshore, and we’ve got a solid 8ft of SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is 2474 (moderate-strong energy). It’s a bit heavy for the rookies, but for the experienced lot, this is the go. The afternoon gets even better with a gentle breeze and 7ft swell – clean as a whistle.
Thursday the 16th is the absolute pick. Clear skies, glassy to light offshore wind from the NNW, and a clean 6ft of groundswell from the SW, period at 14 seconds. The combined energy is 1344 (moderate). It’s organised, it’s clean, and it’s a proper session. Crowds are a “sometimes” thing, so you might see a few others, but don’t let that put you off.
Friday the 17th follows suit with a similar setup: 7ft of SW groundswell, a 16-second period, and light offshore winds, energy at 2588 (moderate-strong). Another beauty.
After Saturday the 18th, the swell backs off and the wind gets shifty again. The second week has another pulse of solid SW groundswell around the 22nd and 23rd, but the wind turns ugly, especially on the 23rd afternoon with a strong cross-shore messing things up. The tail end of the run is a write-off with onshore winds.
So, if you’re picking your days, Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are your best bets. The 16th with that glassy morning is the cream of the crop. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
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.
