The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days at Three Peaks are a tough watch. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s the one thing that’s out of the ordinary. But the surf? It’s a long, frustrating stretch.
We’re starting off with a real dud. Friday the 31st of July through to the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of August is a painful gap. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross-on, cross, and onshore. There’s no quality on offer. The energy is weak, with readings like 32 (weak) and 36 (weak) barely registering. The only slight glimmer is Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is just 1.0 ft, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life comes on Monday the 10th of August morning. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the SW, with a clean cross-off wind from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 153 (moderate), and the conditions are finally surfable – but only just. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s a one-star kind of morning. That’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
Then it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the second week is a mix of weak swell and messy wind, with the occasional clean moment but no size. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, but honestly, you won’t be fighting for waves because there won’t be any worth fighting for.
For a beginner-friendly break like Three Peaks, the one morning on the 10th of August offers the only chance to get wet, but keep expectations low. If you’re determined, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
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.
