The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead. There’s really nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid 8-day gap with absolutely no surf worth paddling out for. The first sniff of something rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday the 8th of August, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
The first sign of life is a tiny bump on Saturday the 8th. We’re talking about 2ft of weak, short-period swell from the SW at Three Peaks. The combined energy is a measly 48 (weak energy). The morning is glassy though, which is a nice bonus for the conditions, but the waves are just too small and ordinary to get excited about. It’s a beginner-level wave, but honestly, it’s more of a splash around than a proper surf.
Sunday the 9th offers a similar story: 2ft from the WNW with a tiny 5-second period. The morning has clean conditions with a light offshore breeze, but the wave energy is a paltry 42. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
The next notable pulse comes mid-week, around Tuesday the 11th. The afternoon sees a jump in size to 5ft from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 343 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-on and the conditions are described as fairly choppy, pulling the score right down. It’s a step up in size, but the quality is poor.
The following morning, Wednesday the 12th, holds similar size at 4ft from the WSW (9-second period, 280 energy), but again, the wind is onshore, making it messy. This is really the only window where the swell gets over 3ft, so if you’re desperate, that’s your best bet, but don’t expect any gems.
The rest of the 16 days dies off into choppy, onshore slop. By the second week, we’re back to tiny, weak waves and strong winds. Honestly, this is a blank run. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger winds and choppy, onshore conditions from the 11th through the 16th might be more interesting for you than trying to paddle a surfboard into that mess.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don't waste the petrol.
Rusty.

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.
