The Lowdown
Alright, let’s not sugarcoat it – the surf scene for the next couple of weeks is looking proper flat and messy. We got a stretch of cross-shore winds that’s gonna chop up everything, and the swell just isn't there to make up for it. For the next week or so, you're better off finding something else to do.
Your one glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday, August 18th. The swell bumps up to around 8ft, but it’s still crossed up with a weak 9-second period. It's got some grunt to it, with the energy reading a strong 1000, but it's going to be a lumpy, hard-to-read mess. Not a day for the faint of heart.
The next morning, Wednesday the 19th, the wind eases off a bit to a gentle breeze, which will clean it up slightly. Swell drops to a more manageable 5ft, but it’s still cross-shore. It’s probably the most rideable it’ll get, but “rideable” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The energy has backed off to 361, so there’s still some push, but don’t expect any gems.
After that, it’s back to the same old story – waist-to-chest high waves and onshore crud. Water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year. So, no excuses for being cold, at least.
For the beginners out there, there is nothing for you. The waves are either too small and junky or too big and messy. For the experts, that Tuesday might offer some raw power, but it’s going to be a fight. Keep an eye on the forecast, because this pattern can’t hold forever.

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.
