The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me take you through what we’ve got on the cards.
Right off the bat, it’s a pretty flat start. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch. For the first week or so, don’t bother paddling out – there’s barely a ripple. We’ve got a solid gap with hardly any rideable surf until things finally show a pulse.
Okay, so the only real player in this outlook is Three Peaks. For the first several days, it’s just tiny and messy. The first day with any kind of swell that could be called surfable is Wednesday, 12 August. The morning is still pretty weak with a 2 ft swell from the WSW, but the afternoon is where it gets interesting. We get a glassy calm, a 3 ft WSW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is bumping up to a moderate 105. It’s not pumping, but it’s clean and rideable. That Wednesday afternoon is the first real window.
The best bet in the entire 16-day period is the morning of Tuesday, 25 August. That is the standout. The forecast shows a 5 ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 284. The wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves with some punch. For a beginner-friendly break like Three Peaks, that’s as good as it gets – but a 5 ft swell is still well within the fun zone. The swell direction (WSW) is also a perfect match for the optimum direction (W). All that adds up to the best session on offer. Just keep in mind, the crowd factor is listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have some company.
The week leading up to that has a few other sessions just worth a mention. Thursday morning, 20 August, has a brief moment with a 3 ft WSW swell and clean offshore winds from the NNE, but it’s still only ordinary. Then Monday afternoon, 24 August, sees a 5 ft swell roll in from the SW, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be lumpy and weak. Still, it’s glassy. That one might be a bit much for absolute beginners as it’s over 5 ft.
Overall, it’s a long wait. The first week is a write-off. The second week has a couple of ordinary, clean days, and then that Tuesday, 25 August morning is the clear winner. It’s far out, so don’t bank on it, but it’s the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
