The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The name's Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for you.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim stretch for Three Peaks. We're looking at a long, flat spell for the most part. The first real surf that's even worth mentioning doesn't show up until Monday, August 9th. That's a solid week of nothing much, so if you're itching for a paddle, you might want to find something else to do for a bit.
Right, so on Monday morning, August 9th, we get a tiny pulse. It's a 1 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light, blowing cross-offshore from the North, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is a measly 45 (weak energy). It's surfable, but very ordinary. Honestly, it's a small, weak wave.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. We get a few days of glassy conditions with next to no swell, like Monday afternoon, August 10th, when it's flat calm with 1 ft waves. Then later in the week, we see a few clean, cross-offshore days, but the swell is barely a ripple – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. There's a flash of a 20-second period on the afternoon of the 16th, but it's only 0.3 ft of swell with a fresh cross-onshore breeze, so it's totally useless.
So, to put it bluntly: don't bother. The board stays in the shed. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. It's a blank run. But hey, in this area, it's normal for it to go quiet for a spell. Forecasts can change, so don't bin your wettie just yet, but for now, it's a no-go.
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.
