Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same story for Peak Rock, but in feet and miles per hour.
The first few days, forget it. Saturday the 11th is a write-off with a 4ft SW swell and a stiff 22 mph Northerly wind making a mess. It stays ugly through Sunday and Monday the 12th and 13th, as the swell pumps up to 10ft to 12ft, but the wind is screaming at 28 to 31 mph. The wave energy is solid (2604 to 6254), but it’s a blown-out mess.
Your first real chance comes Wednesday the 15th. The swell drops to a much cleaner 8ft from the SW, and the wind goes light offshore in the afternoon. The water temp is about 57°, which is average for the season. Thursday the 16th morning is even better, with 6ft of clean SW groundswell and a gentle offshore. Then Thursday afternoon goes glassy. That’s your window for a clean, fun session.
Friday the 17th morning is a standout. A 8ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period and a light offshore wind. The energy jumps to 2995. This is serious groundswell – it’ll have power and shape, but that long period can make it a little straight at beach breaks. At this reef, it’s prime for the experienced crew.
There’s a quiet spell over the weekend of the 18th and 19th with smaller, clean waves but nothing to get excited about.
Now, the real beast. Wednesday the 23rd into Thursday the 24th is the best of the whole run. A 10ft SW swell on the 23rd with a 16-second period, and combined energy going nuclear at 4744 to 5141. The wind is a moderate offshore, keeping it clean. This is big, expert-only territory – way over 8ft, so don’t even think about it unless you know what you’re doing. The wind cranks up on the 24th to a strong offshore, making it hard to paddle into. Thursday the 23rd afternoon is the absolute pick.
After that, the swell fades through the 25th and 26th, and the wind is howling again, making it a no-go. There’s a brief window of clean, manageable 5ft to 6ft swell on the 20th and 21st, but it’s just average.
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.
