Table - best surf conditions forecast for Three Peaks over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get this straight, folks. For the next 16 days, we are looking at a pretty flat and quiet run for the most part. There’s a tiny window of surfable waves right at the start, but after that, it’s a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for. You’ll be waiting a while for any energy to come back.
We kick things off on Friday the 10th of July. Three Peaks has a tiny bit of energy, with a 2ft swell rolling in from the west. The combined energy is weak (60). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but without any real push, it’s a longboard or a funboard kind of day. That afternoon, the swell drops a little more (57 energy), and the wind goes light and variable, so it’s the same story.
Then, from Saturday the 11th of July, it all goes quiet. The swell drops to 1ft, then 0.3ft, and stays that way for the entire run. The combined energy figures are all in the low double digits or single digits, which is basically nothing. We’re talking about a dead ocean for over a week straight. From Saturday morning through to Thursday the 24th of July, every single day is marked as “poor surf conditions.” Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, it’s on a flat ocean, so it doesn’t matter.
The only glimmer of a change comes on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July. The swell finally starts to build a little, with 3ft and 3ft showing up on Friday, and then 3ft on Saturday. The combined energy jumps to 65 and then 150 (moderate). But here’s the problem: the wind is onshore and strong (9-15 mph) from the west-southwest, and the swell period is a weak 6 seconds. That’s a windswell, and it’s going to be choppy and messy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, the real standout pick here is the first day, Friday the 10th of July. A 2ft west swell, clean conditions, and the light breeze makes it the only time you’ll get a clean, small wave at Three Peaks. It’s nothing epic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The rest of the two weeks is a write-off for proper surf. If you’re looking for something to do on that Saturday the 25th, with 3ft onshore slop, you might be better suited to getting a kite out than trying to paddle into that wind-chop.

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.
