Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get into it. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for Three Peaks, I gotta be honest with you. There’s a massive dry spell coming up. For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 11th of July right through to Saturday the 25th of July, the surf is practically non-existent. You’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves – mostly around 0.3ft to 1ft – with nothing to get excited about. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with values stuck in the low teens to low thirties for most of that run. The conditions are often clean and glassy, which is a tease, but there's just no swell to work with.
The water temp at Three Peaks is a whopping 67° right now, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, like swimming in a bath.
The first sign of life doesn’t show up until Sunday the 26th of July. Sunday morning is the only real standout in the whole outlook. We get a jump in swell to 5ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally cracks triple digits at 250, which is moderate, but the real kicker is the wind. It’s glassy, with a light ESE breeze at just 3 mph. That’s going to make for some clean, fun waves. This is definitely the best on offer, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the charts. By Sunday afternoon, the wind picks up and the surf drops, so it’s a short window.
For a beginner-friendly break, that 5ft swell is right on the edge of being too big, but with the glassy conditions, it should still be manageable for those with a bit of confidence. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company, but it shouldn't be a zoo.
So, bottom line: save your energy for the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. That’s your one shot.

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.
