The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Three Peaks over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell to start. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, the surf is just not there. We’re talking about waves so small you’d be paddling more than you’re riding – mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and with some real messy wind on top. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking double digits (12 to 66). It’s the kind of stuff you’d only bother with if you were desperate for a float.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Friday the 31st of July. By the morning we’ve got 4 ft swell from the WSW, bumping up to 6 ft by the afternoon, with a period of 6-7 seconds. The energy finally builds into three-digit territory (125 and 266). But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be chopped up and messy. It’s surfable, but it’s not pretty.
Then comes the biggest swell of the window. Saturday the 1st of August brings a solid 6 ft to 7 ft WSW swell, with a period of 8-9 seconds. The energy is pumping hard (542 and 509). This is the standout for size, but don’t get too excited – the wind is fresh onshore or cross-onshore, with rain showers. That’s going to be a washing machine, and at 7 ft, it’s pushing into expert territory only. A day for the brave and the well-equipped. Sunday the 2nd is still big, with 6 ft to 6 ft, but the cross-onshore wind is still ruining it.
After that, the swell drops away fast. Monday the 3rd of August offers a little window: the morning shows 2 ft from the WSW with glassy conditions and a light NNE breeze. The energy is weak (53), but it’s the cleanest thing we’ve seen in days. A real “maybe” session for a longboard. After that, we’re back to tiny, weak waves right through to the end of the forecast.
So, if you’re picking the best of a bad bunch, I’d say the Saturday morning of the 1st of August has the most power, but it’s for experts only. The real sleeper is Monday the 3rd of August morning – it’s small, but it’s the only time we get a truly glassy surface. That’s your best bet for a clean, if tiny, wave.
Stay tuned, things can change quick.
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.
