The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. For the vast majority of the next 16 days, the surf is flat. I’m talking tiny, unrideable dribble. From now until late in the month, we’re looking at a solid run of nothing. You’ll be staring at a lake-like ocean for days on end. The only break on the cards is Three Peaks, and the water is sitting at a notable 69°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual.
We finally see a pulse of life around Sunday, July 26th. The swell bumps up to a proper 6ft out of the WSW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the NW at 12 mph. The combined energy hits 229 (moderate), but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit of a messy, lumpy wave. It’s not a total loss, but it’s far from clean. The morning of Monday, July 27th holds a similar 5ft from the W with a slightly better cross-off wind from the NNW at 16 mph, cleaning up the surface a bit, but the energy drops to 199 and the period is still short (7 seconds). This is the best on offer, but it’s a real “beggars can’t be choosers” situation.
For the rest of the second week, it’s a slow fade back to nothing. The swell drops below 3ft, the energy fades, and the winds get messy. There’s a brief moment on Monday, August 3rd where the morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft – not worth paddling for.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, the Sunday, July 26th and Monday, July 27th are your only real shot at Three Peaks, but expect a lumpy, cross-shore mess. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. The spot is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this way forever, but this particular run is a stinker.
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.
