The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one – it's a tough run for Three Peaks. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak, with only a tiny window that might be worth a look. Let's break it down.
We're starting with a big, raw swell on Monday the 7th pushing 6 ft from the WSW with a long 13-second period, packing a strong wave energy (1175). But it's blown out by a fresh 19 mph onshore wind. The water is sitting at 66°, a huge 5° warmer than usual – that's a very unusual anomaly for this time of year. Don't bother paddling out; it's a mess.
The whole of Tuesday the 8th through to Thursday the 10th is a write-off. We've got a mix of strong cross-shore and onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and the swell drops away. The 2 ft to 6 ft range is there, but it's all junk.
Now, Friday the 11th morning is our one and only standout. The swell drops to 5 ft from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (295). The winds go light and cross-offshore from the NNW. That's clean. It's a beginner-friendly break, so the 5 ft size is perfect for learning on. The only catch is that crowds are possible, and this spot is known for being inconsistent, so it might not be a guaranteed wave. But if it's on, it'll be the best we see all outlook.
After that, it's a long, dry gap. From Saturday the 12th right through to the end of the period on Tuesday the 22nd, we're stuck with tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The combined energy drops to two-digit numbers (as low as 6) and the winds are mostly onshore or lumpy. There's a day or two with clean conditions, but the swell is barely ankle-high. It's a classic quiet spell for this area; it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, it's a blank run.
Stick to the longboard or the kites on those windy days, because the paddle surfing is off the menu.
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.
