Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a tough watch for Three Peaks. There's a long dry spell ahead with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first proper surf I can see doesn't show up until the morning of July 10th, and even then it's nothing to write home about.
We're looking at a solid run of flat or near-flat conditions right through the first week of July. The water temperature is a wild card, sitting at 66°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's seriously unusual and pretty strange for a winter outlook.
The first faint glimmer comes on Thursday the 10th of July into Friday the 11th. We've got a tiny pulse of swell – around 2 ft to 2 ft from the west, with a period of nine seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading just 41 and 57 (moderate energy). The wind finally swings offshore for a bit, so the surface will be clean, which is a major positive. But let's be real, it's small, weak, and marginal. For a beginner in a fairly consistent spot, it might be worth a paddle on the morning of the 10th if you're desperate, but it's not a standout.
Beyond that, it's back to the waiting game. The middle of July offers a few days of tiny, clean conditions, but the swell period gets freakishly long – 16 to 21 seconds on the 12th and 13th – but with only 0.3 ft of height, it's effectively flat. After that, on the 14th and 15th the west-northwest wind picks up, the swell stays tiny, and the surface gets choppy again.
There are no standouts. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just goes quiet. Don't hold your breath, but forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
