The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – the outlook for Coffee Break over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of really not much to get excited about. From now, right through until the 24th of July, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is there, but it’s messy, blown out, and just not worth paddling out for. The wind is a constant cross-shore, mostly from the east, and it’s just chopping everything up. There’s a nasty cross-chop on the surface that’s killing any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is mostly in the moderate range, but it’s all that lumpy, wind-affected stuff.
We’ve got a solid gap of over a week there with no real recommendations. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama, but that’s about the only positive.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the Saturday morning of the 25th of July. The conditions finally clean up. The wind eases off to a gentle cross-off breeze from the ESE, and the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – but hey, I’ll take it. The swell is only 2ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak. It’s not going to be a world-class session, but it’s the only window in the whole forecast that’s actually clean. That’s the one to keep an eye on if you’re desperate for a paddle.
After that, it’s right back into the poor and choppy stuff for the rest of the period. The swell does get a bit bigger at times, like on the 28th of July when it’s pushing 6ft and the energy is strong, but it’s still cross-shore and lumpy. A reef break like Coffee Break needs that clean, offshore wind to really shine, and we just don’t get it.
So, bottom line: there’s one clean morning on the 25th of July for a tiny, surfable wave. Everything else is a kook’s game. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this run, to be honest.
Rusty.

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.
