Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Three Peaks over the coming days.
Honestly, for most of this outlook, things are looking pretty ordinary. We've got a massive gap of nothing but flat, gutless waves to start. The first day with anything really worth getting excited about isn't until late in the piece, so patience is going to be key. That initial week is dominated by tiny, weak swell with a combined energy you can barely feel. It's not going to be worth paddling out for the first ten days or so.
The first real blip of interest pops up on Thursday, the 16th of July. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the SW, but the period is a pitifully short 5-6 seconds, meaning it'll be all chop and no power. The combined energy is moderate, but the winds are messy. It's not for surfing.
Now, let's talk about the standouts. The real action kicks off on Friday, the 17th of July. Friday morning at Three Peaks looks like the best of the whole run. We're looking at a solid 5 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to a strong level, and the wind is light offshore from the NE at just 3 mph. That's clean, lined-up surf. This is a beginner spot, so that 5 ft is going to be pushing the limits for the less experienced, but for the rest of us, it'll be a fun, punchy wave. Because it's rated as 'fairly consistent' and crowds are only 'sometimes', you should have plenty of waves to yourself if you get out early.
But wait, it gets a whole lot bigger. Look ahead to Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July. The swell just goes nuts. By Tuesday morning, the 21st, we're seeing a 8 ft swell from the WSW with a combined energy reading that is massive. That is powerful. The wind is a light offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, which will keep things clean. At over 8 ft, this is strictly for the experts. This is a long-range standout, so it's promising but less certain. If it comes in, Three Peaks will have some serious, powerful walls.
One thing worth mentioning: on Wednesday morning, the 8th of July, there's a day with absolutely glassy conditions and water temps that are 66°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. Very unusual. But the swell is only 1 ft, so it’s a flat glass-off. It won't get you wet, but at least you can enjoy the warm water while you're waiting for the 21st.
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.
