The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead. To be straight with you, it’s a tough run. We've got a consistent reef break, Coffee Break, that wants to fire but just can’t catch a clean break from the wind. The whole 16-day window is plagued with cross-shore winds and a cross-chop that’s going to ruin whatever shape the swell tries to put together.
Water temp is sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for late July.
Right out of the gate, Wednesday afternoon the 29th, we’ve got a 6ft swell from the east, but it’s short-period junk at 6 seconds and that cross-shore is already messing it up. The combined energy is moderate at 234. It’s a no-go.
This pattern just locks in. Thursday the 30th sees a 7ft east swell on the afternoon, pushing the combined energy to a strong 408, but again, cross-shore winds are destroying any chance of a clean wave. It’s the same story day after day. The swell bounces between 4ft and 7ft, all from the east or east-northeast, with periods rarely getting over 8 seconds. The best you can say is the wind is only a "gentle breeze" on some mornings, but it's still cross-shore and the waves are chopped up.
We finally get a flicker of hope on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows a 7ft east swell with a period stretching to 8 seconds and the combined energy jumps to a hefty 552. The data calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It’s the closest thing to a window we get, but that afternoon the wind back to a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, lumping it all up again.
Honestly, there is no standout session in this whole forecast. The wind is the enemy here, and it doesn't let up. For paddle surfing, this is a write-off. If you're into kitesurfing, that consistent east wind and solid swell energy might look alright, but for a surfer looking for a clean face, it’s a hard pass.
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.
