The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Coffee Break. It’s a consistent reef break, exposed to the open ocean, and it likes swell from the NNE. But honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s barely a moment that’s worth paddling out for. The wind is stuck in a cross-shore pattern pretty much every day, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” for almost every single session. That’s a long stretch of nothing.
The water temperature is sitting at 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
The first real glimmer of anything happens on Wednesday afternoon, September 16th, when the combined energy finally climbs to 236 (moderate) with a 4ft swell from the east, period 8 seconds, and the wind eases to a light breeze. The comment moves to “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” which is the best it gets. That’s your one standout – but it’s not a standout to write home about. The swell is clean enough for a longboard or a funboard, but the cross-shore wind still messes with the face.
From September 2nd right through to September 17th, the forecast is a long, dusty run of poor surf. The swell height stays mostly between 2ft and 6ft, but the wind never turns offshore. The period is short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, choppy, and won’t hold a decent line. The combined energy values are mostly in the double digits (weak) until the second week, when they climb into the 100s and 200s – but without clean wind, that’s just more bump.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never really gets over 5ft, so it’s not too big, but the messy conditions make it a tough session. For experts, there’s nothing here to get excited about. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding or windsurfing window than a pure surf window, because the cross-shore wind is consistent and the swell is small enough to manage.
So, the call is: don’t hold your breath. The only date worth a look is that Wednesday afternoon, September 16th, and even then, keep expectations low.

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.
