The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Alright, looking at the next 16 days here, and honestly, it’s a rough stretch. The first surf worth even talking about doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 5th, so we’ve got a solid gap of a couple of days with absolutely nothing to recommend. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate through most of the period, and the wind is just a pain. It’s going to be a test of patience.
The only break on offer here is Three Peaks. Water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is more than 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that is a very unusual and noticeable anomaly. The swell direction is mostly out of the WSW, which isn’t ideal for a break that prefers a W exposure.
Saturday, September 5th – Morning is our best window. The wind goes glassy, dead calm (0 mph), and we get a clean 3ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 127 (moderate). It’s not big or powerful, but those glassy conditions will make it look better than it is. This is the standout. Expect beginners out there, as it’s small enough for them, and crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Afternoon on Saturday drops off to 3ft with an onshore wind, so it’s a one-morning deal.
Sunday, September 6th – Morning has a clean 2ft wave with a cross-off breeze (ESE, 19 mph), but it’s tiny. Combined energy is only 59 (weak). Worth a look if you’re desperate for a glide, but not a session to write home about.
The rest of the week is a write-off. The wind stays onshore, cross-onshore, or just messy. A few days in the second week, like Monday the 7th, see a bigger bump – a 7ft swell from the WSW, period climbing to 12 seconds – but it’s hammered by a 19 mph cross-onshore wind, and the energy is 1066 (strong). It’ll be lumpy, ugly, and borderline dangerous for anyone but experts. Given the wind and the beach setup, this one looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Through the second week, things dwindle. The 8th and 9th have more size (6ft to 8ft) but always with that nasty cross-onshore wind. By the 10th, we’re back to knee-high slop. There’s really nothing else to chase here. The last half of the forecast is flat or too messy to bother with.
It’s a tough outlook. Just keep your eye on that glassy Saturday morning session – it’s the only bit of peace in a stormy forecast.

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.
