Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coffee Break over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim picture for the whole 16-day window. There’s no standout surf on offer, no hidden gem waiting to fire. The only spot in the mix is Coffee Break, a consistent reef break that’s set up for an NNE swell, but the wind just won’t cooperate.
From Friday the 10th right through to Saturday the 25th of July, it’s a long, drawn-out run of poor surf conditions. The wind is stuck onshore or cross-shore from the east and east-northeast, blowing a steady 12 to 19 mph, which is going to trash the surface. The swell is coming from the east too, which is never the ideal direction for this place, with the odd little pulse from the north around the 15th that barely registers. The wave energy ranges from weak to moderate (95 to 291), but it’s all messy and chopped up.
The water is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. But with that persistent cross-shore wind and a moderate to fresh breeze, the waves are going to be lumpy and ugly. A few sessions show a period around 7 to 8 seconds, which is short-period wind swell, not the kind of groundswell that gets a reef like this really working.
There is a little bump in size around the 16th and 17th, with swell heights pushing 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is the same story. It’s just not worth the paddle out. If you’re desperate, you might find a few closeouts, but honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s a bit of a normal, quiet spell.
Keep an eye on the charts, but I wouldn’t be waxing the board for Coffee Break any time soon.

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.
