The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, lookin' at the forecast for our local stretch. To be honest, it’s been a pretty flat spell, and that’s not gonna change much over the next week. We’re looking at a real quiet run, so don't get your hopes up just yet.
The first hint of anything rideable comes around the morning of August 19th. It’s not much, just a tiny 3 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is clean and offshore. The wave energy is still low at 66 and the period is short, so it will be small and a bit bumpy. It's surfable, but just barely. That same vibe carries into the afternoon with a 2 ft swell from the W. Still small, still ordinary.
The real story is the end of the window. On the 20th, the swell picks up, but the wind howls. By the afternoon, we’ve got a 5 ft swell from the W with a fresh 22 mph breeze. That's a lot of raw energy (208) but it's gonna be a messy, blown-out mess. Not for the faint of heart.
Then, on the 21st, things get a bit bigger. The morning sees a 6 ft swell from the west with a moderate onshore wind. That’s solid, but again, it's not clean. The energy is surging at 352, but the wind is poor. The afternoon drops a little, but still choppy.
The one bright spot? The morning of Saturday, August 22nd. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as can be. It’s a small 3 ft west swell, but the water will be mirror-smooth. The energy is low (93) and the period is short, so it’s not a proper groundswell, but if you’re desperate for a calm, clean session on a tiny wave, that’s the only window. For the rest of the run, it’s mostly a write-off for good paddle surfing.
The water temp is sitting at 68°F. That’s a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. It’s unusually warm.
Rusty, signing out.

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.
