Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Three Peaks has got cooking for us over the next few weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for this spot. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wait for anything rideable is gonna be a test of patience.
Right now, it’s flat. Tuesday the 7th you’re looking at a tiny 1ft WSW swell, but it’s crossed up by the wind and the combined wave energy is a weak (40). The water’s sitting at 66° – a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual and feels like bathwater.
We stay in the doldrums all through Wednesday and Thursday. There’s a glimpse of glass on Thursday morning the 9th, but it’s for a 1.0ft wave that just doesn’t have any push.
Now, the only window that even registers a pulse is Friday the 10th. We get a slight bump up to 2ft from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy ticks up to (59), which is still weak but at least it’s something. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean, and by the afternoon it goes glassy. This is the best of a bad bunch – a clean little wave for the longboard or a fun mid-length, but you won’t be getting barreled. It’s a beginner-friendly height, but the consistency is just “fairly consistent,” so expect some waiting around. Also, this break can get crowded sometimes, so even for a small wave you might have company.
After that, from Saturday the 11th right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s virtually flat. We're talking 0.3ft to 1.0ft of swell for days on end with very long periods (16-21 seconds) that won’t produce anything of consequence at a beach break. The wind is often howling from the east at 15-22 mph from the 13th onwards, making it a total write-off for surfing. The occasional 2ft and 3ft pulses near the 21st and 22nd are paired with 5-second period windswell and onshore winds – that’s just messy, choppy junk.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate for a surf, make the call for Friday morning or afternoon on the 10th. It’s the only stand-out, and it’s a modest one. The rest of the outlook is a solid two-week gap of nothing good.

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.
Three Peaks is 25 km (16 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
