The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'll be straight with ya – this outlook for the Three Peaks area is a tough one. We're looking at a long, drawn-out period of flatness with barely a ripple, so don't get your hopes up for any heroics.
Right now, it's all flat. Through the end of July and the first week of August, we're seeing tiny, weak swell in the 0.6 ft to 2.3 ft range. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-on, which just messes up what little bump there is. You'll see a couple of glassy sessions, like the morning of Friday the 31st July with a light S wind and a 1.6 ft W swell, but it's still labelled as poor. It's just not doing anything.
There's a slight bump in energy around Monday the 3rd August afternoon, where we get a 1.6 ft SW swell, clean cross-off wind, and good energy. The notes even say it's "surfable but very ordinary". That's your only real window in the first week, and even that is a 1/10 score. It's a beginner-friendly break anyway, set for 1.3 ft to 2.3 ft, so it's never going to be a big wave spot, but it just isn't getting any swell.
After that, from the 4th through to the 13th of August, it's a brutal stretch. Swell sizes drop to 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The energy numbers are pathetic. There's an offshore wind on the morning of the 6th and 7th, but with a 0.6 ft, 10-second W swell, you'd be lucky to get a knee-high dribble.
Water temperature here is about average for the time of year.
To be honest, there isn't a single standout day in this entire 16-day window. The blank run is real and it's persistent. For an exposed, consistent spot like this, it's pretty unusual for it to stay this poor for so long. If you had to pick the least worst option, it'd be that Monday afternoon on the 3rd of August with the cross-off wind and a 1.6 ft wave, but don't expect a classic. Maybe check back later – forecasts change, and it can't stay this flat forever.

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.
