The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for this spot is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but don't get your hopes up too early. The first stretch is a write-off. From Saturday the 8th right through to the end of Monday the 17th, it's a long grind of poor surf conditions. The wind is stubbornly cross-shore from the east, kicking up a messy cross-chop on the surface, and the swell is just too short period at 7 seconds to offer any real shape. Combined energy sits around 98 to 521 (moderate), but it's all wind chop. You'd be better off doing something else.
Now, things get a little more interesting right around Tuesday the 18th. We finally see a pulse of longer-period groundswell, with a period hitting 12 seconds on Tuesday morning. The swell height is a solid 6ft from the east, and the combined energy jumps right up to 912 (moderate to strong). The wind is still cross-shore from the ENE, but it's a gentle breeze, which means the surface will be cleaner, with just a slight cross-chop. This is by far the best the forecast has to offer, so if you can get out on that Tuesday morning, it's your window. The waves will have more push and better shape, but the longer period can make it a bit straight at the beach. This is a reef break, though, which suits that kind of energy much better. It's consistent here, so there will be waves, but keep in mind crowds are sometimes an issue. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a normal summer suit.
After that, the swell drops back off quickly. Wednesday the 19th is smaller and messy again, and the rest of the window into the 23rd is just small, weak, and crossed up. It's a shame, but that Tuesday morning is the one to chase.
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.
