The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a tough start. We're looking at a pretty grim stretch for the first week or so. From now until around the 25th of July, the surf is basically non-existent with tiny, weak energy and messy winds. You're better off doing something else. There's a long gap there with no real recommendations.

The real story, and the only standout in this entire forecast, is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July at Three Peaks. That's where we finally get a pulse of life. We're looking at a clean 4ft swell from the west, and the wind is absolutely glassy—dead calm. That's a major positive. The combined energy is a solid 229, which is strong enough to push some decent lines through. Because it's a west swell, it should wrap in nicely. It's a beginner break, so the size is totally manageable, but with that glassy morning, it'll be clean and fun for everyone. Just keep in mind, crowds are possible here.

The morning of Monday the 27th of July will still have some waist-high leftovers at 3ft, but it's a bit cleaner with a light cross-offshore breeze, so you could get a few.

Beyond that, it fades out again into the end of July and the start of August. That Sunday the 26th is your one and only window. Don't sleep on it.

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.
