The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Three Peaks, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
The start is a total bust. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through the end of the month, the surf is tiny, the wind is cross-on, and it’s choppy. The wave energy is low, and the water is just messy. No point paddling out for that.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. That morning, Three Peaks will be glassy – calm wind, clean. The swell is 6 ft from the WSW, with a long 12-second period. That’s groundswell with real grunt, and the combined energy is a strong 833. For a beginner-friendly break, that’s on the bigger side, but it’s still good for most surfers. The water temperature is 69°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. The 1st of August morning is your session. By the afternoon, the wind shifts cross-on, and the quality drops.
After that, it’s back to mediocrity. Sunday the 2nd of August has waist-high waves, but the wind is cross-on and choppy. Monday the 3rd of August through the 5th of August sees swell around 4 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the period is short. The 4th of August has a 5 ft to 6 ft SW swell, but with a 25 mph cross-on wind, it’s just messy – more for kiteboarding. The 5th of August pushes up to 7 ft, but with a 16 mph cross-on wind and short period, it’s lumpy and tough. For a beginner break, that’s too big.
The second week, from the 6th of August onward, the swell drops off, energy is weak, and the wind stays cross-on. Nothing to write home about. The 8th of August has a clean cross-off wind in the morning, but the swell is only 2 ft – not enough.
So, the only real window is the morning of the 1st of August. That’s the one. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of poor surf. For a consistent spot like Three Peaks, this is a dry spell, but it won’t last. Keep an eye on 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.
