The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – the start of this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a real quiet stretch for the first few days. The swell is small and the wind is just all wrong. It’s going to be a bit of a waiting game.
The first real chance of a wave comes up on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is looking like the best of a pretty average patch. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds, so not much push. The combined energy is weak (43). The big plus is the wind goes glassy, so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The crowd factor is a possibility here, but honestly, with waves this small, it’s more about just getting wet.
Then we get into a bit of a dry spell again. The swell picks up a touch on the 4th and 5th of August, with a 5ft to 7ft west-southwest swell, but it’s got a short period, and the wind is howling straight onshore. The combined energy gets up to 555, but it’s a messy, lumpy mess. Not for the paddle surfer, this one. If you’re into kiting, the setup might look more interesting.
Now, if you can hold out, there’s a glimmer of something special. The 8th of August, Saturday morning is the standout. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the southwest with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1065, which is strong. The wind is forecast to be glassy, so the conditions will be clean. This is excellent surf, but it’s big. At 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners need to sit this one out. The direction is good for the exposed west-facing banks, but the crowd factor is likely to be high on a Saturday with clean conditions.
The rest of the second week fades out. The 9th and 10th of August see the swell drop back under 3ft and the onshore winds return, making for poor conditions.
So, to wrap it up: it’s a lean start, a solid, expert-only window on the 8th of August morning, and then back to the quiet life. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though, because it never stays flat for long.
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.
