The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking at Three Peaks over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we're looking at a long, flat stretch to kick things off. The wave energy is weak, and the conditions just aren't cooperating. We're talking a good week and a half of nothing really worth suiting up for, with poor surf conditions from now until at least the end of the first week of August. The water feels odd, it's sitting at 68°F, and that's a hefty 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a summer bathtub than a July session.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday afternoon, August 4th. It's not much, just a small 3ft swell from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 86. But it's glassy. Absolutely flat calm with the ENE wind at 0 km/h. You might snag a few barely rideable waves, but it's pretty ordinary.
The most interesting window hits on the morning of Saturday, August 9th. We finally see some size, with a 5ft swell from the WSW and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 201, and the conditions are clean with a moderate cross-offshore breeze from the N. This one is for the experienced crew – that 5ft is getting too big for beginners, and the short period means the waves will be a bit lumpy and hard to read. After that, it drops right off again.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Tuesday afternoon, August 12th. A small 2ft groundswell from the WSW with a long 9-second period, and it's glassy again with SE wind at 5 km/h. The energy is weak at 54, so it's just good enough for a longboard or a funboard.
Plainly, there's no standout, epic day. The best on offer is that Saturday morning, August 9th, at Three Peaks. It's the biggest push of the whole run, and the cross-offshore wind will iron it out. Don't expect perfection, but it's the most energy we'll see. The crowds can be a factor there sometimes, so get out early.
For the rest of the period, from the 10th onward, the surf is tiny and pretty much unrideable. A few glassy moments pop up, but with no push behind them. It's a lean forecast.
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.
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.
