The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get stuck into what’s on offer at Three Peaks over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, this stretch is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with no real surf to speak of for the first two weeks. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are flat or close to it. You’re looking at a solid gap from now until the very end of the period with nothing worth paddling out for.

The only flicker of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, 5 August. There’s a sudden push of swell – a 5 ft groundswell from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 189 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’s the only real pulse we see. The morning starts glassy with a light ESE breeze, so the surface will be clean. The water temperature is a whopping 69°F, which is a dramatic 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit. The swell direction is WSW, which is a touch off the optimum W, but it’s still workable for a beginner-friendly spot. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might share it, but it won’t be packed.

The catch? The swell period is short, under 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit weak and lumpy. It’s rideable for a beginner, but don’t expect any power. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so the window is really just that morning session.

The rest of the 16 days is a write-off – tiny swell, poor wind, and no energy. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning is your only real shot, but keep your expectations low.

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.

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.
