Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles.
We've got a solid run of swell ahead at Peak Rock. It kicks off on Friday the 10th with a clean 5ft SW groundswell and light cross-offshore winds that'll have the wave faces looking pristine. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama. That swell energy is pumping at 1209 (moderate to strong). This is the best on offer to start – a true standout for a Friday session.
Friday afternoon holds similar quality, dropping a touch to 5ft, still with light winds. Then it goes a bit wild. Saturday the 11th sees the swell drop off and the wind picks up – it'll be blown out, poor conditions. Sunday the 12th is a massive 10ft to 12ft SW groundswell, but those gale-force winds will trash it; this is big, messy, and for experts only if you’re desperate, but the quality is poor. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are still huge, with 10ft to 13ft SW groundswell, but those strong winds and lumpy cross-chop make it a real battle. The energy is through the roof (up to 8794) but it’s just not fun for paddling.
Wednesday the 15th is where it turns around. An 8ft SW groundswell, long-period at 14 seconds, with light offshore winds. It’s solid but clean, and the report says excellent for experienced surfers. That 2968 energy is strong, just expect long lulls between sets. A true second standout if you’ve got the skill.
Thursday the 16th is back to very good, with 6ft SW and light winds. Then Friday the 17th delivers another standout: 6ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s about as clean as it gets – incredible shape and power, just right for a reef break.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th fades out with smaller surf and strong winds. There’s a solid gap of poor to marginal days from the 19th through the 21st. Then Wednesday the 22nd shows a cleaner, smaller pulse of 4ft SW. But hold onto your leash – Thursday the 23rd has a 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period and light offshore winds. Excellent quality again. Friday the 24th builds back up to 8ft to 10ft SW, but those stronger onshore winds will chop it up a bit. Looks like a good run, just pick your windows.
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.
