The Lowdown
Alright, I've had a look at the forecast for Three Peaks. Honestly, it's a bit of a bummer. There's no good surf lined up in the entire 16-day window – from now through to the 1st of August. Usually, this break is fairly consistent for a beginner spot, but this run is a total blank. The swell is just tiny and weak, and the conditions are poor right through. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year – we're talking 68° on the 17th, which is a massive 9° above average. That's unusual, but it doesn't help the waves.
The first few days, Friday 17th through to the next week, are all hopeless. We're looking at swell heights of 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with periods that are all over the place. The combined energy is super low – mostly single-digit or teen numbers. Even the wind is often clean or glassy, but there's no swell to work with. It's frustrating because you've got light offshore or cross-off winds, but nothing to ride.
Around the 25th and 26th, the swell starts to pick up a bit – 2ft to 3ft on the 25th, then 4ft on the 26th afternoon. But the wind is cross or cross-on, and the period is short (4 to 6 seconds). The energy climbs to 30 then 80, but it's still not enough for a decent wave. The 27th sees the biggest swell of the whole run – 5ft from the west with a 7-second period. That's moderate energy (247 to 255), but the wind is cross-on and choppy. For a beginner spot like Three Peaks, 5ft is getting a bit much, but honestly, the quality is poor. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing that day.
The rest of the run into early August stays small, with occasional clean winds but nothing rideable. The 1st of August shows 4ft swell again, but period is 6 seconds and wind is cross-off, so it might be a little cleaner, but still poor surf conditions.
So, bottom line – no standout days, no hidden gems. Just a flat spell. It's rare for Three Peaks to be this quiet for so long, so forecasts might change, but right now, I'd leave the board at home.

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.
