Alright, let’s get real about the surf. I’m looking at what we’ve got lined up here, and I tell ya, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry spell on our hands. The first decent looking wave isn’t even on the cards for over a week, and even then, it’s small.
Right now, the ocean’s flat as a pancake. We’re looking at Three Peaks, and honestly, for the first week, it’s a write-off. We’re talking about tiny, weak swells day after day, with a persistent cross-onshore or onshore wind that just chops everything to bits. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you want to stay on the sand and just watch the sunset. The first couple of days, the 3rd and 4th of July, the swell is barely 3 feet, but the wind is junk. The combined energy is weak.
The water temperature is a real standout though – it’s 66°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s incredibly unusual.
We have to wait until the 9th of July, Thursday, for things to clean up. That morning, the wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the East, and by the afternoon it goes glassy. But, brother, the swell is only a tiny 1 foot from the West. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The energy is weak.
The pattern stays the same for days. Small, weak surf. The best we see is on the 15th of July, Wednesday, when the swell pushes up to 2 feet from the West, with a light cross-on breeze. It’s better than what we’ve had, but it’s still a long, long way from being a standout. The waves will be weak and short period.
There’s a brief spike on the 4th of July, Saturday afternoon, with a slightly bigger 4 feet from the West, but the 16 mph cross-onshore wind will make it a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.
For the entire 16-day window, every single recorded period is marked as poor. There’s no hidden gem here. If you’re a hardcore beginner, the 2 feet days with light wind might be okay for a float, but there’s nothing for anyone else.
This is a real blank run for the area. It happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
