Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got.
Gotta be honest – it’s a long, flat stretch. The first real chance for a wave is a ways off, and the whole 16 days are pretty weak. The best of a very quiet bunch is gonna be around Monday morning, August 3rd.
Three Peaks is the only spot in the game. It’s a beginner-friendly wave when there’s anything to ride. The water’s about average for this time of year, no surprises.
We’ve got a big dry gap until Monday morning, August 3rd. That’s when a tiny 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, shows up. The combined energy is only 88 (weak), so it’s barely a pulse. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the E at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – you’ll be scratching for anything.
Before that, from Thursday, July 30th through Sunday, August 2nd, it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny waves, wrong winds, chop. Not worth paddling out for.
After that Monday morning, it drops right back off. The afternoon is crossed up, and then from Tuesday, August 4th all the way through Friday, August 14th, it’s just a string of tiny, weak swells – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft – with poor conditions. The combined energy figures are all in the single digits or low teens, which is just about nothing. A few days have clean, offshore winds, but there’s no wave to push you around. You’d be floating.
So, the standout is that Monday, August 3rd morning session. It’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s the only window where you might get a slide or two. The swell is from the WSW, which is straight into the optimum direction for Three Peaks, so that’s a small positive. It’s a beach break, and with the period under 8 seconds, it’s not gonna be packing much punch. If you’re a beginner, it’s the only time that’s even worth a look.
For the rest of it, you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days. Sometimes these flat runs break, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
