The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. I’ve looked over the charts for Coffee Break, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch coming up.
To put it simply, the entire 16-day window is a write-off. There’s not a single day where the stars align for a decent paddle. The swell is coming from the east and east-northeast, which is okay for the spot, but the problem is the wind. It is blowing from the east constantly, which is cross-shore through the whole forecast. Combine that with short, weak periods – mostly between 5 and 8 seconds – and you’ve got a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined wave energy never gets past moderate, sitting generally between 75 and 399. It’s all just poor surf conditions, every session.
The water temperature is sitting at a very warm 84°F on the first Monday afternoon, which is about normal for the time of year, but you won’t be in the water long enough to enjoy it.
Now, there is a little glimmer right at the end. On the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, the wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the ESE (12 mph), which is a big deal. The wave comment says “clean” for that morning, meaning the surface will be glassy. The swell is 4 ft from the east with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is 186. This is the only moment in the whole 16 days where the conditions are clean enough to maybe catch a few. It’s a reef break and it’s consistent, so there will be waves, but it’s not a standout. Crowds are possible. That’s your best bet, and it’s not saying much.
For the rest of the run, with the strong cross-shore wind, short period, and poor surf quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a real bummer.
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.
