The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Coffee Break. It's a reef setup, consistent, exposed to the NNE swell window.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a bit is looking pretty average. From Sunday the 13th through to Wednesday the 23rd, it's a run of poor surf conditions. The wind is stubbornly cross-shore, mostly from the east, and the swell is small and weak, with wave energy mostly below 100. There's a couple of afternoons with a bit more height, like the 15th and 16th hitting 4 ft, but the period is short and the wind chops it up. You're looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing really worth paddling out for.
Now, things start to get a little interesting towards the end of the run. Around Thursday the 24th, we see a bit of a change. The swell direction swings around to the NNE and the period jumps up – we're talking 10 to 13 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The combined wave energy jumps to 262, and then on Friday morning the 25th, we get a real standout. That's the one to circle on your calendar. Early Friday the 25th, Coffee Break is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. We've got a solid 4 ft NNE groundswell with a 13-second period, and the wave energy is pumping at 655. That's moderate to strong energy. The water temp is around 84°, which is about average for this time of year. This is the pick of the forecast – that's where you want to be. Later Friday and into the weekend, the swell backs off a bit, but it stays rideable through Sunday the 27th with clean conditions again on Sunday morning. After that, it fades out.
So, overall, it's a slow start, but there's a promising window around the 25th to 27th. Keep an eye on the long-range for that Friday morning session.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
