The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Peak Rock has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
The main story is a solid pulse of SW groundswell rolling in mid-week, but the local winds are going to be a constant battle. We’re looking at a run of clean, powerful surf starting Wednesday the 12th with a decent 8ft SW swell and a moderate offshore wind from the NW, keeping things tidy. That’s a standout session, no doubt.
The swell builds into Thursday the 13th, hitting 10ft from the SW, with a very long 16-second period. This is proper groundswell, packing serious energy (combined energy of all swells of 4,395). The cross-offshore wind stays light to moderate, so it’ll be clean. This is for experienced surfers only – that height is pushing into expert territory at a reef break. The real standout for the whole window is Friday morning the 14th: a solid 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period again, but with a lighter cross-offshore breeze from the W. It’s the best combination of size, power, and clean conditions we see, making for a proper session.
Saturday the 15th sees the swell drop slightly to 8ft, but onshore southerly winds mess things up. The rest of the first week and into the second week gets smaller and wind-affected, with a few small windows of clean surf around Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th when a light cross-offshore NNE breeze cleans up a little 4ft SW swell. Those days are worth a paddle if you’re keen on a smaller, clean wave.
There’s a long gap of poor to messy conditions from late on Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 21st. Things look more promising again on Friday the 21st with a small but clean 3ft SW swell, and Saturday the 22nd is a nice little run with 4ft SW swell and clean light offshore winds – a solid bet for a fun, manageable surf. After that, the outlook gets blown out by strong winds again.
Overall, the big stuff on Thursday and Friday is the main event, but only if you’re locked in and experienced. For the average surfer, aim for the cleaner, smaller days like Tuesday the 18th or Saturday the 22nd.
Stay salty, 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.
