The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got for the region.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with almost nothing to get excited about for a solid week. The water is sitting at a very warm 65°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're staring at the flatness.

The first recommendation doesn't kick in until Monday the 21st of September, and even then, it's barely a whisper. Before that, from now all the way through Sunday the 20th, it's a write-off. The wind is a constant problem, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and while there's some swell height on the 15th and 16th, it's all blown out and messy. The combined swell energy hits a high of 484 on Wednesday the 16th (moderate), but with those onshore winds and short 10-second period, it's just a lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for.

So, we've got a gap of about six days with nothing worth chasing.

Moving into the second week, things get small but a bit cleaner. Monday the 21st of September is the first real shot, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the WSW with a short 7-second period. The wind does go glassy in the afternoon though, which is a major positive for a beginner-friendly spot. The combined energy is very weak (36-40), but for a beginner on a longboard, the clean conditions make it a mellow session. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Three Peaks, so you might not have the place to yourself, but it won't be a circus.

Then, Tuesday the 22nd of September morning is the standout of the whole period. The swell is still small at 2ft from the W, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a proper long-period groundswell. That’s a big deal for a break like this – it'll have real shape and push for its size. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE, making for clean conditions. Combined energy is still low (104), but the quality of that long-period energy will make every wave count. This is the one to circle on the calendar if you're jonesing for a surf.

After that, from Wednesday the 23rd through Saturday the 27th, we're back to tiny, weak swell, mostly under 2ft with short periods and light winds. The conditions are clean at times, but the surf is just too small to recommend over the Tuesday session. By the very end of the period, Sunday the 28th and Monday the 29th, there's a tiny pulse of long-period swell (13-14 seconds) from the SW, but it's only 0.3ft to 1ft. Not enough to do anything with.

So, to sum it up: forget the first week. The best bet is Tuesday the 22nd of September at Three Peaks for a clean, long-period swell that'll give you some fun, tiny waves. Everything else is a gamble for very small, clean conditions. It’s not a great run, but that Tuesday morning has a bit of magic in it.

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.

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.
