Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's not looking like a classic winter run. There's a long, quiet spell ahead. We do get a tiny window of something surfable, but then it goes dead for a good stretch before a big, messy pulse of energy shows up way down the line. Let’s break it down.
The only real window of opportunity is the morning of Thursday, July 9th. We’ve got Three Peaks offering up a tiny 2 ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. The big sell here is the wind: it’s going glassy. Dead calm. That’s a major positive and will make for clean, smooth conditions even if the waves are small. The combined swell energy is weak at 50, so don't expect much push, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, a glassy morning on small waves is a nice little session. The water is sitting at 67°F and the anomaly is 8°F warmer than normal, which is very unusual for July. It'll feel like a warm bath out there.
After that brief moment, the surf fades fast. From Friday the 10th right through until Wednesday the 22nd, the recommendations are non-existent. That is a solid two-week stretch where you’d be wasting your time paddling out at Three Peaks. The swell drops to nothing, mostly 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft, with periods all over the shop but no real energy to speak of.
Now, towards the very end of the outlook, things get a bit more interesting but not for paddle surfing. On Thursday, July 23rd, a big swell arrives. The morning shows a 6 ft swell from the SW, but with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 251. By the afternoon, it jumps to 7 ft from the SW with the same short period, and the energy jumps to a strong 515. But the wind is howling onshore from the SW at 18-25 mph. For a beach setup like Three Peaks, with that much onshore wind and a short-period swell, the conditions will be blown out and choppy. This setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than for a traditional paddle session.
So, to sum it up: if you want a clean, small, glassy wave, be at Three Peaks on the morning of the 9th. Everything else in this 16-day window is either flat or blown to pieces.
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.
Three Peaks is 25 km (16 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
