Alright, grab your coffee and let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak run ahead. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, with a whole lot of small, messy, and wind-affected days for Three Peaks. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a hefty 8° warmer than usual for July – that’s really unusual, like wearing boardshorts in a wetsuit season kind of weird.

The first real light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 14th, in the morning. That’s over a week and a half of waiting for anything worth paddling out for. Even then, it’s pretty weak with a combined energy of only 44 (weak), a 1 ft swell from the WSW, and a period of 10 seconds. It’s clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze, so at least it’ll look pretty, but you’re not going to be pulling into anything exciting. The afternoon that same day gets a quick bump in size to 3 ft, but that’s from a short-period 5-second wind swell and the wind goes cross-shore, making it choppy and messy.

Wednesday morning, July 15th, offers a similar story – glassy conditions with a 2 ft swell from the west (9-second period) and combined energy of 82 (still weak). It’s surfable, but you’d be scraping for little waist-high rollers. The wind swings onshore by the afternoon and kills it again.

Then, finally, there’s a bit of a pulse on Saturday, July 18th, in the morning. We see a big jump in size to 5 ft from the west, with a combined energy of 239 (moderate). The swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a bit fat and wind-driven, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping it clean. For a beginner-friendly spot like Three Peaks, 5 ft is approachable but on the bigger side – it might be a little much for absolute beginners. The afternoon gets chopped up again by a cross-onshore, so make the most of that morning session. Given the long, flat gap before it, this Saturday morning is the one real standout, but keep in mind it’s a week and a half away, so it’s promising but not locked in.

Other than that, it’s a whole lot of flat, small, and choppy junk. The consistent onshore winds and tiny swells make this stretch look more interesting for a kite than a surfboard for most of the period.

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.

Three Peaks is 25 km (16 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
