The Lowdown
Hey mates, Rusty here. I gotta be honest with ya—this stretch ain't looking promising. For the full 16 days at Three Peaks, we are in a real dry spell.
From now right through to August 18th, it’s nearly flat or just too messy to bother. There’s no true standout at all. A couple of mornings around the 7th and the 10th of August will have a light offshore breeze, keeping the surface glassy, but the swell is barely a ripple—just 2 to 2 feet with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The wave energy is pitiful, only 23 to 25. You could bob around on a foamie, but it's hardly a surf.
Mid-period, around August 5th and 6th, the swell tries to bump up to 5 to 5 feet, and the energy hits a moderate 234, but it’s all messy windswell with a 6-second period. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. It’s a blown-out mess, not worth paddling out for.
With such consistent onshore winds and poor wave quality, I’d say this break looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this forecast. Honestly, save the effort and wait for a better run.
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.
Three Peaks is 25 km (16 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
