The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, checking in on Three Peaks. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak outlook for the next week and a half. The first several days are a complete washout – poor surf, messy winds, and barely any energy in the water. Swell energy readings are low, under 100 (67-73), so it’s flat and ugly. Don’t waste your time.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday the 17th of September, but it’s still not clean. The only day that’s worth circling on your calendar is Saturday the 19th of September. Now, that’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising maybe, not a guarantee. But if it holds…
That Saturday morning, we get clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at about 6 mph. The swell will be around 3 ft from the WSW with a 10-second period – not huge, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be fun. The water temp is about 66°F, which is nearly 5°F warmer than average for this time of year – very unusual. Combined swell energy is moderate at 207. The afternoon goes dead calm, glassy, but the waves are just ordinary. Still, it’s a chance to paddle out. The break faces west, so the WSW swell will wrap in nicely. Expect some company, as crowds are sometimes an issue.
After that, from Monday the 17th through the rest of the period, the swell sticks around but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. Sunday the 20th has a clean cross-offshore ESE breeze, but the swell is just okay, and the forecast is only marginal. Nothing else worth chasing.
So, bottom line: wait for that Saturday the 19th, keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath on the rest. Rusty out.

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.
