The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s be straight: if you’re looking for clean, good waves around here over the next 16 days, I’m sorry mate, but you’re pretty much out of luck. The setup’s gonna be pretty dim across the whole window. There’s a real stretch of poor conditions, but there is a slight glimmer right at the tail end if you’re patient and a bit desperate.
The first chance at a surf is actually Monday the 11th of September, but it’s nothing special. The ocean’s been a mess for ages and it stays messy for the most part. On Monday morning at Three Peaks, you’ll find 3ft swell from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds – it’s small, weak, and the combined swell energy is low. But the wind’s swinging offshore from the NNW, so the surface will be clean. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" and honestly, that’s the best we’ve got. The water’s about average for the time of year – no major temperature anomaly to report.
The best surf in the whole outlook is that same Monday the 11th of September, early morning. The waves are small though, only 3ft from the WSW, and the period is average. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the real selling point is the clean, offshore wind from the NNW. It’ll be the only time in two weeks where the surface looks decent. Crowds are "sometimes" at Three Peaks, and with nothing else on offer, a few others might have the same idea. It’s consistent enough to get a wave.
After that, things get grim again. The 12th of September looks useless. Then from the 13th, a lumpy, onshore mess rolls in, and it builds into heavy, blown-out surf. By Monday the 14th of September, we see a big, messy 10ft swell from the WSW under onshore wind from the SW. That’s massive, messy, and for experts only if they’re frothing for a beating. It’s not clean surf, more like a washing machine.
Honestly, if you can wait for that Monday the 11th, paddle out early for a clean little session. Otherwise, the bay might be better for a kite session than a proper surf.
Stay wet,
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.
