Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coffee Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but there's a real dry spell to start. The first day we even see a sniff of a recommendation is Wednesday the 8th of July, and even then, it's grim. The forecast for Coffee Break is a consistent "poor surf conditions" day after day, with moderate to fresh cross-shore winds messing up the surface. The swell is there, hanging around 4 ft to 6 ft from the East, but with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, it's just not organised. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting values between 107 and 366, but it's all wind chop. There's no standout session for the whole period.
The most promising stretch looks to be around Tuesday the 22nd of July. We see the swell period stretching out to 8 seconds, and the combined energy picks up to a moderate 259. But the wind is still a fresh cross-shore. It's a classic case of "looks better on paper than it will in the water." For a reef break like Coffee Break, which is exposed to the NNE but getting dumped on by East swell, the cross-shore wind is just a killer. The water temp is a typical 82° for this time of year, so no drama there.
Because of the persistent cross-shore wind and the short-period, lumpy nature of the swell, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just no clean, organized wave face to work with.
Hang in there, but I wouldn't hold my breath for anything special in this window.

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.
