The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Coffee Break.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a pretty frustrating stretch, to be honest. We've got a long run of "poor surf conditions" kicking things off, so don't be in a hurry. The only real flicker of something surfable doesn't show up until Thursday, July 30th, and even that's a marginal call. After that, it's right back into the same old messy story. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer.
First up, for the rest of this week? Forget it. From Friday, July 24th right through to Wednesday, July 29th, it’s all cross-shore wind and crumbly swell. We're looking at weak wave energy (81 to 173) and short, weak periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The water temp is a warm 83° and about average for the time of year, but you won't care if you're just fighting a washing machine.
There's one day that stands out as the only real chance. Thursday, July 30th. The morning session at Coffee Break is our best bet. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which the forecast calls "clean". We've got a 5ft swell from the E at 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 217. It's still a marginal call, but it's the only time the wind is doing us any favors. If you’re going to paddle out in this period, that’s the window.
After that, it's a long slog. From Thursday afternoon, July 30th, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Saturday, August 8th, the conditions slide back into poor surf. Swell heights bounce between 2ft and 6ft, but it's all short period windswell (5 to 7 seconds) with relentless cross-shore breezes. The energy stays mostly moderate, but it doesn't matter because the shape just won't be there. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to wrap it up: one narrow window on the morning of July 30th if you're keen. Otherwise, it's a long, blank run.
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.
