The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break it down. We’ve got a 16-day window, and truth be told, it’s a slow start for Three Peaks. There’s a big gap of nearly a week where you won’t find anything worth paddling for. The first real shot of surf is a long way off, on Saturday, August 1st.
The water is warm, real warm. It’s sitting at 69°F, which is about 8°F above what it should be for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly. You’ll be comfortable in a spring suit, but don’t expect the waves to match the weather.
The one and only standout is that Saturday, August 1st. Now, it’s a week and a half away, so don’t book your flights yet, but here’s the scoop. The morning is showing an 8 ft swell from the WSW, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 954 (moderate), so there’s some push. The wind is a cross-on breeze, so it’s a bit textured, but for Three Peaks, that’s a solid size. The afternoon gets even bigger—10 ft from the same direction, 9-second period, and a combined energy of 1499 (strong energy). That’s a lot of water. The wind turns onshore, so it’s going to be a raw, powerful, and messy setup. This is strictly for the experts. Anything over 8 ft is for the crew who know what they’re doing. If you’re a beginner, stay on the beach.
After that swell, it fades fast. Sunday the 2nd has 5 ft to 5 ft, but it’s raining and the wind is onshore or cross-shore, so it’s choppy and sloppy. Then it drops to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the week. The 7th of August shows some clean offshore wind, but the swell is only 3 ft to 4 ft. It’s clean, but it’s small. You might get a knee-high ride, but that’s about it.
So, the game plan is to sit tight and wait for that big day on August 1st if you’ve got the skills. The rest is a bust. It’s a dry spell, but that’s normal for this spot. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’m not holding my 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.
