The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, mate, the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf. The first real recommendation doesn’t kick in until later, so you’ll be waiting a while. The first day we can talk about is Wednesday, July 15th, but even then, it’s not much to get excited about.
For the first week, the swell is tiny. We’re talking mainly 0.3ft to 1.0ft from the WSW or W, with combined energy levels that are weak (15 to 31). The period is all over the place, from a very short 7 seconds up to a long 14 seconds, but with that little height, it just doesn’t matter. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout – if you can call it that – is on Saturday, July 25th. The afternoon shows the biggest swell of the whole run, a 2ft W swell (energy at 39). It’s still tiny, but it’s the best we get. The wind is cross-on from the west at 15 mph, which will make it a bit choppy, so it’s not going to be clean. For a beginner spot like Three Peaks, that’s still ridable, but you’ll be battling the wind a bit. It’s not big enough to be dangerous, just messy.
There’s a gap of several days after that, with no real improvement. The surf stays small and poor through the end of July. The final days of the month show a few more 0.7ft to 1.0ft pulses, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, so the quality is low.
Look, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real flat spell. It’s a waiting game. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no single day that screams “go.” The 25th is your best bet, but keep your expectations low.
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.
