The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this forecast for Three Peaks is a long, hard slog. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but the first 11 days are a write-off, mate. The surf’s messy, the wind is all over the shop, and there’s nothing worth paddling out for. It’s a painful gap from the start right through to the morning of Monday the 14th of September.
Things finally turn a corner on Monday the 14th of September. Monday morning, Three Peaks flips the script. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the WSW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The water temperature is sitting at 67°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal—very unusual for this time of year, you’ll be warm in the wetsuit. The combined wave energy is moderate (308), and the period is 9 seconds, giving the waves a bit of push. The offshore wind will keep the faces clean, and it’s an exposed break, so it’ll pick up the best of the swell. This is the standout session of the entire forecast. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early.
Tuesday the 15th of September is a bit of a letdown after the peak. The morning is glassy—wind is dead calm (0 mph) and the swell is 3 ft from the WSW with a 9-second period. The energy is weak (166), and the conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not a total loss, but it’s not worth getting excited about.
Wednesday the 16th of September, the morning is glassy again with a tiny 2 ft swell from the W, period 10 seconds. The energy is very weak (72), and the waves are small and clean. It’s a low-key session for the longboard or a fun little cruise.
After that, the wind comes back in the afternoons and the surf drops off into nothing. The rest of the second week is pretty much a dud. Strong winds and lumpy conditions kill any chance of a decent ride.
So, the only real highlight is Monday morning the 14th. That’s your best bet. The rest? You’ll be waiting for the next system.
Rusty out.

Information about the Three Peaks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Three Peaks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Three Peaks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Three Peaks 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 (Three Peaks) 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 Three Peaks 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.
