The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a wild ride ahead. The swell is coming from the SSW, which is just about perfect for the Peak Rock reef, but it's not all going to be clean. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Tuesday the 8th has some waist-high swell, but the wind is messy and the conditions are just marginal. Wednesday and Thursday are a no-go; that swell jumps up over 12 ft, but it's a bumpy, cross-onshore mess with wave energy going through the roof (over 7000 on Wednesday morning), so that's for the kites, not the paddle crew.
The first real standout kicks off on Saturday the 12th. The swell drops to a solid 7 ft, but the wind goes glassy in the afternoon, and offshore in the morning. That's a clean, powerful wave for experienced surfers. The combined energy is still a meaty 1845, so it's got some grunt. This is the best call of the first week.
After that, the following week is a bit of a mixed bag. We get a few days of smaller, cleaner swell from the 13th to the 15th, but it's inconsistent and the wind isn't cooperating. The energy drops right off. Then we get a slight improvement on the 16th and 17th with some clean 8 ft to 8 ft waves, but the wind is side-shore or cross-off, so not perfect.
Hold onto your board, though. The real standout of the whole forecast is Saturday the 19th of September. The swell is a solid 12 ft, and the wind is blowing offshore from the NNW. That's a big, powerful, clean wave for experts only. The combined energy is a massive 6935. This is a groundswell with a 16-second period, which means it's going to be very long, powerful, and perfect for that reef setup. It's a long way out, but it's looking like the best session of the lot.
The very end of the forecast, around the 21st and 22nd, looks promising with some clean, manageable 5 ft to 6 ft swell and light offshore winds, but the energy is lower. It's a nice way to finish.
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.
