The Lowdown
Alright, crew, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. We’ve got just one spot in the mix, and it’s a real bummer of a forecast.
Water temp at Coffee Break is about 83°F, and the anomaly is only 0.4°F, so it’s totally normal for the season. Nothing to complain about there.
The problem is the surf. From Saturday, August 1st, right through the whole 16-day window, Coffee Break (reef) is offering poor surf conditions. The swell runs from 3 to 6 feet out of the east, with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds, and the wind is always cross-shore from the east or east-northeast. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (181 to 381), but that don’t matter when the waves are sloppy and the wind is messy.
The optimum swell direction for this reef is NNE, and we’re getting east – not a match. The wind never goes offshore or glassy, so there’s no clean window. The surf quality is poor every single session, with scores of zero across the board. The consistency is there, but it’s consistently bad.
Even the bigger days – like Wednesday, August 12th, with a 6-foot east swell and 8-second period – still have fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. Not a single standout. If you’re a kite surfer, the wind might be interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a total washout.
This is one of those rare stretches where nothing lines up. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the stick at home.

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.
