I can't seem to find much in the way of predictions for the Perseid peak.
Could anyone please post or point me at some?

According to meteorobs own Mikhail Maslov, this year's Perseid peak will
come
on August 13 at 13:19 UT . He expects a ZHR of 100.
See: _http://feraj.narod.ru/Radiants/Predictions/Perseids2012eng.html_
(http://feraj.narod.ru/Radiants/Predictions/Perseids2012eng.html)
Another contributor to meteorobs, Jérémie Vaubaillon, depicts Earth's 2012
passage
through the Perseid swarm here: _http://tinyurl.com/bsh59cv_

This clearly shows that we will pass through most of the dusty debris from
109P/Swift-Tuttle between August 12.0 and 12.5 UT.
Finally, in the RASC Observer's Handbook for 2012, Margaret Campbell-Brown
and Peter Brown indicate this year's peak will be on August 12 at 12h UT.
So it would seem that Sunday morning, August 12 will be the best time for
peak activity from the Perseids, although if Mikhail is correct, Monday
morning, the 13th could also be fruitful as well.
