Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s talk about Three Peaks over the next 16 days. It’s a tale of two halves: a whole lot of nothing, then a big, clean pulse right at the end.

The first weekend, starting Friday the 10th, is a non-starter. We’ve got a tiny 2-foot west swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 57 – barely a ripple. The water is warm, at 67°F, which is about 8°F above normal for this time of year, so it’s a nice soak, but the surf is flat. From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a long stretch of tiny, near-flat conditions. Swell rarely gets above 1 foot, with periods all over the place but mostly weak. The combined energy readings are mostly in the single digits or low tens – that’s as flat as it gets. There’s a lot of cross-off and offshore wind in that period, but without any swell, it’s just a glassy, empty ocean.

You’ve got to wait until Wednesday the 22nd before anything changes. That morning, we see a 5-foot west swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 224 – still moderate, but it’s a start. The wind is cross-off from the north at 15 mph, keeping it clean, but it’s a bit of a bumpy one for beginners. The afternoon stays similar.

Now, Thursday the 23rd sees a bit more size: 7 feet from the west-southwest, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy is up to 360. The wind turns cross-shore from the west-northwest, so it’s got a little chop on it. This is a powerful wave for a beginner, maybe too much.

The real standout, the one worth waiting for, is Friday the 24th. That’s the day. We’ve got a 13-foot swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 10 seconds – proper groundswell, long lines. The combined energy is a massive 2815 in the morning, making it strong, and the wind is offshore from the east-southeast at 15 mph. That’s clean, powerful, and for experts only. The afternoon stays similar with a 13-foot swell and 11-second period, but the wind turns cross-shore from the southeast, so it gets a bit messy. Honestly, this is a big, powerful, and potentially dangerous day unless you’re a seasoned charger.

Saturday the 25th drops back to 7 feet, but the wind is poor, and the energy is still high at 662. The conditions are messy, so it’s not the day to be out there.

So, if you’re a beginner, there’s nothing in this forecast for you. For the experienced crew, the only real window is Friday the 24th, and even then, it’s a big, powerful swell that’s only for the confident. The rest of the 16 days is a long, flat wait.

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.
