Alright, let me break this down for you. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Three Peaks, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run. The swell is tiny for almost the entire period, with heights mostly hovering around 1.0ft to 2ft, and the wave energy is weak, often in the double digits (like 12 to 51) and only occasionally creeping into the low 100s. There’s no real push to get excited about. The water temp is a whopping 66°, which is *much warmer* than normal for this time of year, feels almost like a summer anomaly for July, but that’s about the only interesting thing going on.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t come until Tuesday, July 14th. That morning, we see a tiny 1ft swell from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is still low at 48. But the wind is offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which will clean things up nicely. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – so it’s not going to be pumping, but at least it won’t be a washing machine. That afternoon is similar, with a 1ft swell from the W, offshore NE wind at 12 mph, and clean conditions. For a spot that’s “fairly consistent” but has been dead for a week and a half, this is the one bright spot. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so if you’re just looking to get wet and catch a few foamies, this is your window.
Aside from that, the rest of the outlook is a series of tiny, weak, often choppy or glassy flat spells. The long period (19 seconds) on July 13th sounds exciting, but with only 0.3ft of height and almost no energy (27), it’s just a ghost swell. The Thursday and Friday mornings around July 10th and 11th have some clean offshore conditions, but again, at 1.0ft to 2ft, you’re barely getting your feet wet. There’s nothing even close to a standout here.
So, to be blunt: the best on offer is the morning of July 14th. It’s not going to be epic, but with clean, offshore wind and a bit of push, it’s your best shot at a session without wasting your time. Keep your expectations low, though.

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.
