The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Tea Break.
It’s a real bummer of a forecast. The whole 16 days are stuffed with cross-shore wind and poor surf. There’s no standout session, no clean window. The swell shows up, but it’s always blown out.
Starting Thursday the 23rd, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the ENE with a short 7-second period and a moderate cross-shore breeze. The combined swell energy is moderate (123). Water temp is 83°F, which is about average for the time of year. It’s not worth paddling out. That theme holds through the weekend. The swell builds to 5ft by Friday afternoon, but the period drops to 5 seconds and the wind is still cross. Just lumpy, grovelly junk.
The 27th and 28th see the swell drop back to 3ft or even 2ft, with energy dropping into the weak category (80-81). There’s a risk of thunderstorms on the 27th afternoon and 28th afternoon, but the wind is still cross-shore. It’s a no-go.
Late in the first week, around the 30th of July, the swell picks up to 5ft from the E with a better 8-second period. The combined energy ramps up to a strong 331 on the Thursday afternoon, but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore, so it’s going to be a washing machine. The same story repeats into early August. By the 7th of August, the swell is 4ft from the NE with an 8-second period and moderate energy (217), but again, that cross-shore wind ruins it.
Because the wind is consistently cross-shore at this exposed reef, and the swell is often over 5ft, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the entire period. There’s a gap of poor conditions that goes all the way to the end of the forecast.
For a consistent spot like Tea Break, it tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is a true blank. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

Information about the Tea Break Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tea Break provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tea Break can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tea 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 (Tea 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 Tea 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.
