The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Three Peaks.
First up, the water is sitting at 67°F. That’s a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable without a thick wetsuit.
The honest truth is, the next week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no real surfable waves until the second week. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the morning of Tuesday the 13th, conditions are just too poor to bother paddling out. Most days have tiny swell with weak energy and the wind is just messy. It’s a real bummer.
The first sign of life comes on the morning of Thursday the 13th. The swell bumps up to a modest 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE, which will keep the surface clean. The energy is still weak. It’s nothing special, but it’s a start.
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 14th. We get a pulse of 5ft swell from the W, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE again, keeping it glassy. The combined energy is moderate. The morning will offer clean, fun waves. The afternoon fills in a bit more energy but the wind turns light cross-on, so get on it early.
The Saturday the 15th morning is also a decent option. Swell holds at 4ft from the W, with a period of 6 seconds. Again, light cross-off wind from the E, clean conditions. The quality isn’t epic, but it’s the best run of the forecast.
After that, it gets small again. The morning of Monday the 17th has a 3ft WSW swell with light cross-off wind, but energy is low. The afternoon of the 17th is tiny and glassy with 3ft if you’re desperate for a little slide.
So, for the best on offer, head out on Friday the 14th morning or Saturday the 15th morning. That’s your window. The rest is mostly flat or choppy. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay poor for too long.
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.
