The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. I've got to level with you – the next 16 days at Coffee Break are looking like a real battle. There's waves on the menu, but the wind is a constant problem. We're looking at a long stretch of lumpy, choppy conditions that are a tough sell.
Let's break it down. Starting Thursday, July 30th and Friday, July 31st, we've got swell around 4ft to 6ft rolling in from the East, but the wind is a solid 12 to 19 mph from the same direction, putting a nasty cross-chop on everything. The period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so it's all weak, windswell junk. The energy is moderate, but it's wasted. Not worth paddling out for.
That same pattern locks in through the first week of August. From Saturday, August 1st right through to the 7th, it's the same story. East swell from 3ft to 6ft, but it's always accompanied by a moderate to fresh breeze from the east or east-northeast, creating that messy cross-shore chop. The combined energy stays in the moderate range, hitting a high of 245 on the 7th, but it's all for nothing with that wind. You'll be fighting a washing machine.
The second week doesn't offer much hope either. From August 8th through the 14th, the wind doesn't let up. The morning of Saturday the 8th sees a brief switch to a cross-offshore breeze, which would clean things up a bit, but the swell is still all wind-driven from the East, and the afternoon winds are back to hammering it. The rest of the week is more of the same: 4ft to 5ft of East swell, constant 12 to 19 mph cross-shore winds, and energy levels that are mostly moderate but dropping to weak by the 14th of August.
Honestly, there's not one standout day in this whole run. The wind is the enemy, and it's not backing off. The water is a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it. For a reef break, these conditions are just plain ugly. It's a beach and reef setup that's going to be more appealing for kite surfers than anyone on a paddleboard. We'll have to wait for a change in the pattern.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Coffee Break Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coffee Break provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coffee Break can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coffee Break 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 (Coffee Break) 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 Coffee Break 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.
