The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming.
It’s a quiet stretch for Three Peaks. The whole 16-day outlook is thin, with only a couple of sessions that might be worth a look. Most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and messy. There’s a long dry spell from the start through the first week and into the second.
The first real chance comes Sunday the 13th of September in the morning. An offshore wind from the ENE at 3 mph makes it clean, with waves 4 ft from the WSW and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (143). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Crowds are possible here.
After that, it’s small and choppy until Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon. That session sees 3 ft from the WSW with a long period of 12 seconds, coming from a SSW direction. Combined energy is moderate (236). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s marginal but rideable.
Your best bet is Thursday the 17th of September morning. Clean offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph, with waves 5 ft from the WSW and an 11-second period – a nice groundswell with good energy. Combined energy is moderate to strong (452). Conditions are solid, and for a beginner-friendly break like Three Peaks, this is the standout. The swell direction is a little off from the optimum W, but it’s still the pick of the window.
Overall, it’s a lean run. The only real highlights are that Sunday morning and especially that Thursday morning. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
