The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are gonna be a real struggle. There's a long, flat run ahead. The first decent bit of swell doesn't show up for two whole weeks, right at the end of the month. After that, it's pretty weak and messy again.
Let's start with the here and now. There's nothing doing from today until Thursday the 31st of July. That's a solid stretch of tiny, weak waves at Three Peaks. The water temperature is a whopping 68°F, which is 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a very unusual warm spell, but it's not much comfort with no surf.
Thursday morning the 31st of July is the first time the ocean wakes up a bit. We get a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The swell is a modest 4ft coming from the southwest, but it's got a short period of only 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, sitting at (143). It'll be surfable, but the conditions are just ordinary – nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, that Thursday morning is about the only thing on the radar worth even paddling out for. The guidance says Three Peaks is a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent and exposed to the west, which is close to the swell direction we get. But with the onshore winds and short period chop in the afternoon, the window is real tight.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of nothing for the first two weeks, then a glimmer of hope on that last day of July. The breaks can be fickle here, and this is one of those blank runs that just happens. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts change. 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.
