The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what we've got coming up for Three Peaks. It's a bit of a long wait, I gotta be honest with ya.
The first week and a half is a real struggle. We're looking at tiny, weak waves – nothing over 0.7ft – until the 28th of July. The wind is all over the place, and the water is unusually warm, sitting at 68°F on the 18th, which is a good 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Things start to wake up on the 28th of July. Tuesday morning we see a clean 4ft swell from the west with a light north-northwest cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate (146), and the period is on the short side at 7 seconds. It's surfable, but not amazing. That afternoon, the wind shifts and messes it up.
The 29th of July brings a bit more size, with 5ft on Wednesday morning, but it's hopelessly onshore and messy. The energy is strong (405), but the quality is poor.
The absolute best chance we get is on the 30th of July, Thursday morning. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the west-southwest, with a still-wobbly 6-second period, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy here is a solid, moderate 305. It's still a bit on the big side for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the standout window. The forecast is still a bit iffy, being a week and a half out, but it's the best on offer.
After that, Friday the 31st of July has another 6ft morning, but the wind is a problem. The rest of the run into August is all onshore wind and choppy conditions, with the swell dropping off again. It's a real shame.
So, to sum it up: wait for Thursday the 30th of July. That morning at Three Peaks is your best bet for a proper wave, even if it's not perfect. The rest of the period is a write-off, unless you're kiting in that cross-onshore wind.
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.
