The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next stretch has in store for us at Three Peaks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead. For the first few days, there's just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, weak, and the wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. We're talking about a solid week of barely a ripple. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August, you'd be better off finding something else to do. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely hitting the mid-30s (21-37), and it’s just not worth paddling out for that 1.0 ft to 2 ft of slop. It's a real bummer.
Things might just perk up a tiny bit on Monday the 3rd of August. We might get some surfable waves, but "ordinary" is the word. The swell stays small at 2 ft from the WSW, but the wind shifts easterly, keeping it reasonably clean. The energy is still low (54), so expect weak, soft waves. It’s a bit of a waste, really. Tuesday and Wednesday after that are more of the same – tiny surf, clean but insignificant.
Now, if you’re patient, and I mean really patient, there might be a glimmer of hope towards the end of the second week. On Saturday the 8th of August, the energy finally climbs into triple digits (102) with a 2 ft SW swell. The wind is off from the east, so it should be clean. It’s still not big, but it’s the best looking window in a bleak forecast. Sunday the 9th of August also has some clean 2 ft SW swell (energy 78), but then it fades right back out again.
Honestly, with this kind of weak, small swell and the predominantly onshore wind patterns keeping it poor quality, if you’re looking for a thrill, this beach-and-reef setup might actually look a bit more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no push for us.
Signing 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.
