The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Three Peaks over the next 16 days. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a quiet spell, a real dry patch. The first recommendation that’s any good doesn’t show up until Saturday 25th July, and even then, it’s a struggle. The whole run is littered with poor surf conditions and messy winds. There are no true standouts, but I’ll walk you through what little there is.
The water temperature at Three Peaks is sitting at 68°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s over 5°F above average, pretty unusual.
Saturday 25th July afternoon kicks it off with a small 3ft W swell and a weak 4-second period. The combined energy is barely there (30). Wind is cross-onshore from the WSW at 16 mph, so it’s choppy. Not worth getting wet.
Sunday 26th July morning sees a bump in size to 6ft from the W, period up to 7 seconds (263 combined energy), but it’s still cross-shore from the NW at 19 mph – lumpy and rough. Same story in the afternoon: 5ft, cross-onshore, 19 mph. Poor.
Monday 27th July drops to 3ft, cross-onshore and choppy in the morning. Afternoon has a brief window of onshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, but the swell is only 3ft and combined energy is just 68. Still poor.
From Tuesday 28th July through to Thursday 30th July it’s tiny – under 3ft, mostly weak, with cross-onshore or cross conditions. Nothing to get excited about. Friday 31st July is similar, with 3ft or less.
Saturday 1st August picks up a little: 4ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon from the WSW, combined energy hitting 162 in the PM. Swell period is 7 seconds. But it’s onshore with SW winds at 12 mph. Still poor surf quality.
Sunday 2nd August through to Wednesday 5th August is back to flat or tiny – mostly under 3ft, with a bit of cross-onshore chop. Thursday 6th August is 0.7ft with a long period (11 seconds) but barely any energy (16). Not surfable.
Friday 7th August stays small and onshore. Saturday 8th August has 2ft to 3ft but with fresh cross-onshore winds (19 mph) and lumpy conditions – that’s more kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing.
Finally, Sunday 9th August offers the best of a bad bunch: a 5ft W swell, 7-second period, combined energy of 171. Wind is cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph in the morning, dropping to cross-onshore in the afternoon. Still classified as poor surf conditions, but at least there’s a bit of push. Not a standout by any stretch.
Bottom line: there’s no true standouts in this 16-day window. Everything is flat, choppy, or blown out. If you’re desperate, the Sunday 9th August morning might give you something small and clean-ish, but don’t hold your breath. For a spot like Three Peaks, a blank run like this isn’t abnormal – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a write-off.
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.
