The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk swell for Peak Rock.
This is a reef break that picks up a solid, consistent run of SW groundswell. Water temp’s about normal for this time of year. The main event hits straight away. On Friday the 24th, we’ve got a massive, long-period groundswell (15 seconds, 15 ft) from the SW, with combined wave energy cranking up to (9794). The wind is a fresh, cross-offshore breeze, which keeps the surface clean. That’s what you want at a reef. This is the absolute standout of the whole outlook. It’s big swell, so it’s for experienced surfers.
The swell stays around the 10-11 ft mark through Saturday (25th) and Sunday (26th), with that same clean, cross-off wind angle. On Monday (27th), a fresh NW offshore comes in, but the swell drops below 6 ft. Still clean, just smaller.
We hit a rough patch in the middle of the week. Wednesday the 29th sees a huge 15 ft swell (energy 7301), but it’s pushing straight into a strong southerly onshore wind. It’s going to be a mess. Give it a miss.
After that, the wind turns against us for a few days, mostly onshore or too crossy. The next real chance comes the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August. Saturday afternoon (Aug 1st) looks excellent with a 6 ft, 15-second groundswell and a light NW breeze. But Sunday afternoon, August 2nd, is the glassy-gem of this run. The wind goes glass calm—a light 3 mph southwesterly—and the swell is a solid 7 ft with a 15-second period (energy 2053). That is a perfect window for a reef wave.
Week number two kicks off with promise. Monday the 3rd has a gentle offshore wind and a consistent 6 ft groundswell. Tuesday the 4th gets a strong north offshore wind, but the swell drops to 5 ft. The surf is rideable, but the wind is a bit much. The wind gets tricky again from Wednesday on, with a cross-shore mess. But look out for Friday the 7th: a 6 ft, 17-second very long-period groundswell (energy 2252) and a light north wind. It’s a long way out, so it’s a promising ‘maybe’.
Peak Rock is sometimes packed, and on days like Friday the 24th and Sunday the 2nd, you can bet on lot of company. It’s the price of a good, consistent reef break.
Final call: Friday the 24th for the big, powerful stuff. Sunday the 2nd of August for the cleanest, glassiest conditions.
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.
