Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright mate, here’s the lay of the land. First week is a write-off – pretty much no surf worth the drive through to Friday 10 July. That’s when Three Peaks finally shows a pulse: 2ft west swell with a 9-second period, light northeast offshore wind, and combined energy in the low range (40). It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, but can get a crowd sometimes. The water temperature is way warmer than normal for July – 67°, and the anomaly is a massive 8° above average, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts.

After that, the second week builds slowly. The pick of the period is Saturday afternoon, 18 July, when the swell hits 4ft from the west-southwest, with a short 6-second period, but the combined energy climbs to 122 – moderate. Winds are light east-southeast, keeping it clean. It’s not groundswell, so expect lumpy, soft waves, but it’s the biggest we get. Sunday 19 July has similar size, around 4ft (134 energy) in the afternoon with light winds, but mornings are a bit breezier.

If you’re a beginner, Friday morning 10 July is a safe bet. For the biggest, cleanest waves, aim for Saturday afternoon, 18 July at Three Peaks – just don’t expect perfection.

That’s the story from me, 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.

Three Peaks is 25 km (16 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
