Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour now. We’re at Pyramid Rock. Water temp is about 58°F—normal for this time of year.
Saturday the 4th is a bust: 8ft SW swell, but 30 mph onshore wind. Sunday the 5th has 7ft of long-period SSW groundswell and cross-off wind, but the forecast says marginal.
Monday the 6th gets clean with 4ft SW swell and light 10 mph NNE wind in the morning. Afternoon turns glassy with 3ft—perfect for a beginner.
Tuesday the 7th keeps that clean 4ft SW going in the morning—very good.
Wednesday the 8th is the best. Morning: 4ft SW swell at 19 seconds, light cross-off wind, and awesome energy. Afternoon: 5ft with offshore 10 mph NNE breeze—excellent.
Thursday the 9th stays good but smaller—4ft in the morning, glassy 5 mph NE in the afternoon.
Then it fades. From Saturday the 11th onward, it’s small or blown out. Tuesday the 14th has a massive 10ft pulse, but it’s onshore and messy. Friday the 17th sees 12ft SW swell with 15-second period and big energy, but the wind is gusty and it’s too big for most—expert only.
The sweet spot is Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th. Go then. The rest is waiting or watching.

Information about the Pyramid Rock Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pyramid Rock provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pyramid Rock can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pyramid 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 (Pyramid 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 Pyramid 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.
Pyramid Rock is 38 km (24 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
