The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Three Peaks has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those periods where you might be better off cleaning the wax off your board and waiting. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch here.
The first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn’t even show up until Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. Even then, we're talking tiny stuff. The week kicks off with barely a ripple. Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th are flat with clean but useless conditions. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th stay tiny and poor, with the odd clean window but no power.
Now, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th mornings are the only real glimmer in this whole 16-day run. We get a WSW swell bumping up to about 3ft, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined swell energy reading of 130 and 184 respectively – so we’re talking weak to moderate energy at best. The real treat though is the wind: glassy on Wednesday morning and glassy again on Thursday morning. That’s as good as it gets for conditions, with clean, smooth surf. But honestly, for a beginner-friendly wave like Three Peaks, this is barely surfable. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and you’ll definitely notice it when you paddle out.
After that brief window, it goes right back to poor surf. There’s a bit more size showing up around the 19th and 20th, with swell hitting 4ft to 5ft, but it’s all onshore and choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Overall, if you’re desperate and you can sneak out on the morning of Wednesday the 12th or Thursday the 13th of August, you might find a few clean, tiny rollers at Three Peaks. That’s the best on offer, and it’s not saying much. The rest is a write-off.

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.
