Alright, Rusty here, and let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to read. For the entire 16-day stretch, starting from July 6th all the way through July 21st, there’s not a single session I’d point you towards paddle out for. That hurts to say, especially knowing how good Coffee Break can be.
Right from the jump on Monday the 6th, it’s a no-go. The swell is coming in from the east at 5ft with a short period (7 seconds), and while the water is a warm 83° – about average for this time of year – the wind is hammering from the east at 12 mph, creating a messy cross-shore chop. That pattern just keeps grinding. The combined swell energy sits around moderate (192), but the wind never lets up, keeping the surface lumpy and the wave quality poor.
We see a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 9th in the morning. The wind swings to a cross-offshore (ESE) at 12 mph, which cleans things up a bit. The swell, still from the east, holds at 6ft with an 8-second period, and the energy picks up (369 – moderate). It’s a *marginal* call at best, with questionable tide conditions, so you’d have to be a local who knows the sandbar in your sleep to even consider it. The water temperature data is missing for most of these records, so I can’t give you the full story there.
After that, it's back to the grind. The wind stays cross-shore for the rest of the week and into the next, ranging from 9 to 19 mph. The swell height bounces between 3ft and 7ft, but the period rarely gets over 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, wind-affected junky waves. The combined energy stays in the moderate range (82 to 399), but without favorable winds, it’s just not surfable.
There are a couple of instances where swell kicks above 5ft, but with strong cross-winds, those sessions are better suited for a kite than a surfboard. Honestly, this stretch looks like a spring clean-out for the lineup. It’s a dead run, plain and simple. For a break like Coffee Break that’s usually consistent, a blank run like this is a bummer but not unheard of. The forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
