Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch ahead for Three Peaks. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim, with hardly a window that’s worth getting wet for. The main issue is persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up, keeping the surf messy and lumpy for the bulk of the period.
The water is sitting at 66°F and that’s a solid 5°F warmer than what we’d expect for this time of year – a bit of a treat if you’re not fussy about the waves.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on the morning of Friday the 11th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is finally a light cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate (337), but the lineup should be clean and rideable. It’s the only decent call in the first week, so if you’re desperate, that’s your morning session.
The next sniff of something bigger lands around Wednesday the 16th. The morning shows a solid 10ft from the WSW, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-shore, keeping the surface smooth. The energy is strong (974). This is a big, chunky swell that’s going to be powerful and fast, best suited for more experienced surfers. The afternoon builds even more energy (1446) but the wind swings cross-on, ruining it. That morning window on the 16th is the standout of the whole 16-day run, but it’s a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed.
The rest of the second week is a write-off. Thursday the 17th morning has a 7.2ft W swell with a 9-second period, but it’s onshore and sloppy. There’s a big pulse of 10ft on Friday the 18th, but it’s hammered by onshore winds again. Honestly, for the better part of two weeks, the conditions are so poor that the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
