The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Let's have a look at the charts for our local stretch.

We're looking at a pretty bleak run ahead, to be honest. For the next six days, from now through to the 15th, it's mostly a write-off. The swell energy is low to moderate, and the wind is just all wrong – mostly onshore and cross-onshore, thrashing any potential waves into a choppy mess. The water temp at our first spot is about average for this time of year, so there's that small mercy, but it's not going to help the grovel.

The first real flicker of hope shows up on Sunday morning, the 13th. That morning at Three Peaks we'll see a clean 4ft wave from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds, pushing 304 units of combined energy (moderate). The real kicker is the wind – a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the north. That’s the kind of glassy look we've been craving. It's a good little window for a beginner-friendly wave, though you might have some company as crowds are sometimes an issue here. Sunday afternoon, though, the wind swings back onshore, so make the most of the morning session.

Then the waiting game starts again. After that Sunday morning fix, the forecast goes back to poor conditions until the following weekend. A standout emerges but it's a long way off. On Sunday morning, the 20th of September, we see a jump in size with a 7ft swell from the WNW. That's more power with 403 units of combined energy (moderate), but the wind is a strong cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph creating clean conditions. That size is getting into the challenging zone for beginners. The Sunday afternoon session on the 20th also looks okay with 7ft and clean winds, but it's a toss-up with questionable tide conditions. That weekend is the only true standout in a very flat outlook.

For the rest of the run, from the 16th of September onward, the swell drops right away to ankle to knee-high junk, with onshore or cross-shore winds. A long gap of unrideable conditions.

So, to put it simply: There are two windows. The first is a short, clean, and small session this coming Sunday morning the 13th at Three Peaks. The second, more powerful but less certain option is the weekend of the 20th. That's all we've got on the table.

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.
