The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty slim for a proper paddle. The water is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just floating around, but the waves? Not much to write home about.
We’ve got a long dry spell here. From now through the end of July, it’s mostly tiny, weak dribble. The swell energy is barely registering, often in the single digits or low teens, so you’re looking at flat, glassy conditions with the occasional 0.3ft to 0.7ft ripple. Winds are light and variable, sometimes glassy, but there’s just no push. It’s not until the 26th of July that we see a bit of a pulse, with a 3ft to 4ft W swell rolling in on Sunday. The energy jumps to 141, which is a start, but the wind is cross-off from the NNW, so it’s clean. Still, with a period of 6 seconds, it’s short-period windswell, not going to hold any shape. Not worth rushing out for.
The real standout, and honestly the only one worth a mention, is the 31st of July, Friday. That morning we get a solid 6ft WSW swell with a 8-second period. The energy is pumping at 402, a proper jump in power. The wind is cross-off from the ESE, so it’ll be clean. This is the biggest, most energetic day of the whole forecast. It’s a bit much for beginners at that size, but for intermediate to advanced surfers, Three Peaks will have some fun lines. It’s a fairly consistent break, but crowds are possible, so get in early. The swell direction is WSW, which is good for the spot. After that, it drops off, and the first week of August is back to onshore slop and crumbly conditions.
So, if you’re keen, mark your calendar for the 31st of July. That’s your best bet. The rest of it is a waiting game.

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.
