Three Peaks Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Three Peaks over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a real blank run here, so don't bother waxing up your board just yet.

The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any proper surf. From Tuesday the 7th right through to Tuesday the 21st of July, the waves are almost non-existent. We're talkin' ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely nudging 2 ft and combined wave energy sitting in the weak zone – mostly in the teens and twenties, nowhere near enough to get excited about. For days on end, it's gonna be "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak swells and messy winds. The best you'll see is a few clean moments on Friday the 10th morning with a 2 ft W swell (period 9s, energy 40), but it's so small it's hardly worth the paddle.

Even the longer period swells that roll in from the 12th onwards, with periods up to 21 seconds, are so tiny – 0.3 ft to 0.6 ft – they're pure torture. They'll show up as dead flat lines, not even a ripple. The crowds at Three Peaks might be "sometimes" an issue, but trust me, with no waves, you'll have the whole ocean to yourself.

There's a hint of life on Saturday the 18th morning with glassy conditions and a 2 ft SW swell (period 7s, energy 25), but that's still tiny and sloppy. It's a beach break setup here, and with these dimensions, it's more of a float around than a surf.

Look, the water temp is about average for this time of year, but that’s no consolation when you're bobbing around on flat water. This is one of those periods where you just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to recommend. Hang loose and keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.
