The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at this one. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days are a total dud. There’s no good surf on the horizon. The whole forecast is flat, choppy, and lifeless. It’s one of those long gaps where you just gotta wait it out.
Starting Friday, July 31st, Three Peaks has a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a 5-second period, and a cross-shore wind. The wave energy is a measly 13 – that’s nothing. The water is a very warm 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost 3 degrees above average, which is really unusual. But that’s the only thing out of the ordinary. The surf is poor.
The first week of August is all the same. Saturday the 1st, Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd – all tiny. Swell heights barely hit 3ft, and when they do, the period is short and the wind is onshore or cross-on. The energy levels are all in the low double digits, with one little blip over 100 on Monday afternoon (124), but it’s a messy, short-period west-southwest swell with a cross-on wind. Not worth it.
The second week is just as dead. Tuesday the 4th to Friday the 7th of August is flat. The swell drops to 0.3ft on Friday the 7th, with a 12-second period, but it’s so tiny it’s barely a ripple. The energy is 13. It’s glassy in the morning, but there’s nothing to ride.
From the 8th of August right through to the 15th, it’s the same story: flat, choppy, and energy-starved. The combined energy values are all under 130, and most are in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. The swell is consistently under 4ft, and the winds are almost always cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a brief moment of clean conditions on the 10th of August morning with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 1ft. You’d be better off staying home.
So, what’s the verdict? There are no standouts. There are no good waves. This is a blank run, and for this area, it’s pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t even bother looking at the buoys. The setup is so weak and windy that honestly, it’s more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. A total bust.

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.
