The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.
Alright, so straight up – the next 16 days at Coffee Break are a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with next to no surf on offer. Honestly, from now until the first week of August, it’s pretty much a write-off.
The whole pattern is dominated by a persistent cross-shore wind from the east, blowing 15 to 30 km/h, which is just keeping everything blown out and messy. The swell is small and weak, mostly from the east, with periods hanging around 6 to 8 seconds – that’s just short-period, weak windswell. The combined wave energy barely gets into the moderate range, hitting 352 at its best, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
There’s a glimmer of hope right at the very end of the forecast window. On the morning of Monday, August 10th, the wind swings just a touch more offshore, coming in from the ESE at 20 km/h, giving us a clean window. The swell is 1.5m (that’s about 5 feet) from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 201. It’s still small and a bit short-period, but it’s the only period where the wind and swell line up for something rideable. The water is a warm 83°F, right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the rest of the time, it’s just not worth paddling out. The consistent cross-shore wind and weak, short-period swell mean the waves are just lumpy, chunky, and disappointing. The afternoon of Thursday, July 30th, sees the swell push to 2.0m (about 7 feet), but with a 25 km/h cross-shore wind, it’s a messy, blown-out mess. That kind of size with that wind is more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The August 10th morning is the only real standout, and it’s a long way off, so don’t get your hopes too high. It’s a promising, clean little window, but it’s a one-off in a sea of bad news. The rest of the month is a gap of flat, windy, and poor conditions.
So, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on Monday, August 10th. Otherwise, it’s time to find a new hobby for a couple of weeks.
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.
