Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m looking at Pelee Point for the next couple of weeks and, well, it’s a tough one. There’s not a single day in this whole 16-day window that has any surf to speak of. The combined swell energy is absolutely flatlined at 0 for every single session, so there’s no wave height, no period, no direction – just a whole lot of nothing in the water. That’s a pretty rare stretch for a consistent break like this, so count on the forecasts shifting eventually.
Right now, the surf is completely dead. For Wednesday the 5th, it’s a clear morning but with a light onshore wind from the SW at 6 mph, and zero surf. That continues through Thursday, Friday, and the weekend – through the 7th, we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and a moderate breeze from the South at 12 mph, but still zero energy. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are more of the same: clear skies but moderate cross-onshore winds in the 12 to 16 mph range, and no swell.
Monday the 10th sees a brief shift with a light cross-offshore breeze, ESE at 3 mph in the afternoon, but again, no waves to clean up. The whole next week stays flat: Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th offer clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds, even a glassy calm on the 13th afternoon, but there’s nothing to ride. Friday the 14th through Monday the 17th have some nice offshore wind spells (ENE at 9 to 19 mph), and the water is clean, but with no swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.
Even into the second week, from the 18th to the 20th of August, there’s still no change. Tuesday the 18th has a glassy afternoon, and Wednesday the 19th shows a light offshore wind, but all with zero wave energy. The only positive is that for a spot that’s normally consistent, this blank period is unusual, so it won’t stay like this forever.
The water temperature at Pelee Point hasn’t been provided, so I can’t say anything about that.
Bottom line: there is no surf to report. Grab a kite if the wind is up, or just wait for the next swell to roll in. I’ll be here when it does.

Information about the Pelee Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pelee Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pelee Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pelee Point 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 (Pelee Point) 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 Pelee Point 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.
Pelee Point is 16 km (10 miles) from Leamington. If you plan a holiday in Lake Erie - Canada, look for hotels and other accommodation in Leamington. Leamington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
