The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down for Three Peaks.
The truth is, for the better part of a week and a half, there just isn't much to ride. The water temp is way warmer than it should be for this time of year – sitting at a real strange 68°F, which is about 7° above the long-term average. That's a weird one.
Starting from Saturday, July 25th, it's all small, weak, short-period slop – 1 to 3 feet of west swell with periods barely hitting 7 seconds. The wind is coming from the west or west-northwest, blowing cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface messy and choppy. The energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits, and the quality is poor. Just not worth paddling out.
The only halfway decent moment in that first stretch is the morning of Friday, July 31st. The wind goes glassy, the surface turns clean, and there’s a tiny 2-3 foot west swell with a 6-second period. The energy is weak at 42, but if you've got a longboard and you're just looking for a glide, that's your window.
Then on Sunday, August 2nd, a big pulse rolls in. It jumps to 11-12 feet with a 9 to 11-second period and the energy is massive – over 3000 – but the wind is screaming at 28 mph, cross-onshore. Three Peaks is an exposed beach break, so that much power with that much wind is just a full-on mess. That looks more like kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.
The real standout of the whole outlook is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We get a solid 6-foot swell from the west-southwest with a 7-second period, paired with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northwest. Conditions are clean, the energy is a solid 660 – that's proper moderate power – and for the first time, the report mentions clean waves. The crowd can be a factor here sometimes, but this is your best chance for a proper session. The swell direction isn't a perfect match for the optimum west, but it's close enough.
After that, it fades. Sunday, August 9th still has 4-5 foot waves, but the wind goes cross-shore again and the quality drops off.
So, the verdict: a long dry spell, a tiny window on the 31st of July for the foam boards, and one proper morning to circle on the calendar – Saturday, August 8th. That's your best bet all round.
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.
