Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Coffee Break.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a bit of a tough one. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got swell coming through, but it’s all wrapped up in a nasty cross-shore wind, making for lumpy, choppy, and just plain poor surf conditions. From Tuesday the 7th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 15th, there’s not a single session I’d be paddling out for. That’s a solid gap of over a week with no real recommendations.
The swell is there, mostly from the east, bumping up to 6ft to 6ft at times, but with short periods around 6 to 8 seconds – that’s wind swell, not groundswell. It’s just not got the shape or the juice. The energy values are flirting with moderate numbers, hitting 405 (combined energy) on Wednesday afternoon, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is trashing it.
The only glimmers in this forecast come on Thursday morning the 9th and again on Thursday morning the 16th. On Thursday morning, we get a bit of a cross-off wind with a clean surf description, and moderate wave energy (402). The swell is 6ft from the east, period is 8 seconds, so it’s still short-period, but with cleaner conditions, it’s a “marginal” call. The water temp is right on the money for this time of year at 82°, no anomaly to speak of. Then on the 16th, we see a similar setup: clean conditions, cross-off breeze, 5ft east swell, period 8 seconds, and moderate energy at 296. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best on offer.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Thursday morning windows are your only shot. But if you’re eyeing up the bigger days with the 6ft swell and strong cross-shore winds, that setup is more likely to be a kiter’s playground than a surfer’s dream. The winds are just too strong and onshore for a clean wave.
Keep the board in the car and check the forecast again in a few days. It’s a quiet run, but it never stays this way forever.
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.
