Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Peak Rock.
The next couple of weeks have some solid swell lining up, but the best window is Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year. Peak Rock is a consistent reef that loves a SSW swell, and we’re getting plenty of that.
Monday morning the 6th: wind is light and cross-off from the NE, with a 5ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1086), and the waves are clean. It’s a great session for intermediates. The afternoon glass-off is the real treat – wind goes glass, swell drops to 4ft from the SW, and the quality is spot on. Crowds can show up sometimes, so early bird gets the worm.
Tuesday the 7th is another clean one. Morning has a 3ft SW swell with a long 17-second period, light cross-off from the NE. Energy is still solid (853). That long period is perfect for this reef. Afternoon gets onshore, so plan around the morning.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell jump to 7ft by the afternoon, but the wind gets messy – cross and cross-on. Energy is way up at 2954, but the 19-second period and chopped-up surface mean it’s for experts only. Not the day for a casual paddle.
Thursday the 9th bounces back with clean conditions. Morning has 5ft SW groundswell and a light cross-off from the N. By afternoon, it’s glassy with a 4ft swell. That afternoon window is a gem.
Friday the 10th stays clean with a 5ft morning swell and cross-off wind. Good, but not as good as Monday and Tuesday.
Saturday the 11th is all about strong N winds blowing 35 to 45 mph. Morning is offshore but brutal to paddle in. Afternoon is worse. Sunday the 12th is blown out. Skip it.
The second week gets bigger but rougher. Monday the 13th brings a massive 10ft SW swell with energy hitting 4201, but it’s paired with strong winds and rain – experts only. Thursday the 16th offers a cleaner 6ft SW swell with light cross-off wind. It’s promising, but less certain at this range.
From the 18th onward, winds are gale-force offshore. The waves are clean but impossible to paddle into – leave that for the kite surfers.
So, the standout is clear: Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July at Peak Rock. Glassy, clean, and just the right size for a fun session.

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.
