The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, pullin' up a chair for the next 16 days at Coffee Break.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch to call. We've got a 16-day window staring at us, but the first couple of days are a write-off. The surf is just poor, plain and simple. We’re looking at a gap from now through the end of July with no real surf to speak of. The waves that are showing are all crossed up with these easterly breezes creating a chop, and the energy just isn't there to make anything of it.
Things start to look a bit more interesting as we roll into August. The early part of the month sees the swell energy picking up a little, but that persistent cross-shore wind just won't let up. The break at Coffee Break is exposed to the NNE, and we're getting a lot of East swell, which isn't ideal.
Now, let's talk about the best on offer. It’s not a classic, but the standout sessions in this outlook are looking at the early mornings of Thursday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th. On Thursday the 8th, we’ve got a small 2 ft NE swell with a long period of 10 seconds. That longer period suggests better shaped waves, even if it's small. The morning winds are a gentle cross-shore, which is about as good as it gets around here. It’s a reef break, so that longer period swell will wrap in nicely. This one is for the intermediates, and keep in mind, since it's a consistent break, you might have company.
Then on Sunday the 9th, it's a similar story. A 2 ft NE groundswell with a 10-second period, again the morning is clean with a gentle cross-shore breeze. This is your quietest window, and the small size means it won't be too gnarly for a confident intermediate.
For the rest of the second week, we see the swell trying to build but the wind just kills it. The water temperature is about 83°, which is spot on average for this time of year. Look, there’s no huge swell on the horizon, no clean-offshore perfection. It's a pretty flat run, but if you're hungry, those two mornings in early August are your only real chances for a few fun ones.
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.
