The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ over the charts for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. We’ve got a long wait ahead before anything even starts to look interesting. The wind is gonna be a problem for most of it, and the swell just isn’t cooperating.
We’re looking at a solid week and a half of junk, starting right now. From Thursday the 3rd right through to the end of the following week, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with only a couple of “marginal” slots that aren't really worth paddling out for. Winds are howling from the west and southwest, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is just gonna chop everything up. There’s a pulse of bigger swell on Monday the 7th, hitting 6ft to 7ft from the WSW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1000. But with a moderate to fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s gonna be a messy, blown-out wall. That one’s really only for the kites, not for a paddle session.
The first real chance of a decent wave doesn't show up until Friday the 11th. Three Peaks finally looks like it might offer a bit of hope. The swell is a clean 7ft from the WSW with an 8-second period. That’s a bit of size, so it’s getting into the "experts only" territory. The key here is the wind: a fresh breeze from the north, which is cross-offshore, keeping the faces clean. The combined energy is moderate (675), so there’s a bit of push. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the first time it’s not a total write-off. This spot is fairly consistent but gets exposed to the swell. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so keep that in mind.
After that little blip, it’s back to small and disappointing. From Saturday the 12th right through to the end of the period on the 18th, we’re looking at tiny dribblers under 3ft, mostly from the WSW, with weak energy readings mostly under 100. The wind cleans up and goes offshore or glassy at times, but there just isn’t any swell to work with.
So, the only real standout, and I’m using the term loosely, is that Friday the 11th. If you’re an experienced surfer and you’re dying for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, save the wax and wait for the next forecast. Keep an eye on it – it tends not to stay this flat forever.

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.
