The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Coffee Break. I’m gonna level with you straight up – it’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a real dry spell. The forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" for the entire 16-day run. The wind is stuck in a cross-shore or cross-onshore pattern, which is going to leave the surface pretty chopped up and messy. The water temp is sitting at 85° on the Tuesday afternoon of the 1st, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for something to happen.
The first real shot of any significant swell energy shows up around the 9th of September. Wednesday afternoon sees the swell bumping up to 6 ft from the East, with the combined energy hitting a moderate 305. That’s the biggest number we see, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and weak. And the wind is still a cross-shore at 16 mph, so it’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. That kind of height with those conditions makes it more of a kite session than a surf.
There’s a brief window on the 14th where the wind drops to a light breeze, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft with a 9-second period. It’s a glimmer, but the cross-onshore direction means it’ll still be a bit bumpy.
To be honest, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this stretch. The swell directions are all from the East, which is the optimum for this reef break, but without clean wind, it’s just not coming together. We’re looking at a blank run here for the whole 16 days. It’s not unusual for this area to go quiet like this.
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.
