The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Got to be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Tea Break is a tough one to call. That easterly wind just won’t quit, blowing cross-shore nearly every session, and that's killing any hope of clean faces. The swell direction is coming out of the east, which isn't the optimum direction for this spot at all. The water temp is sitting right around 84°, and with an anomaly of only 0.7°, that's pretty normal for this time of year.
Right from the start on Tuesday the 25th of August, we’re looking at a north-easterly breeze at 19 mph, and waves around 4 ft with a short, gutless 5-second period. It’s lumpy cross-chop. No bueno. Wednesday doesn't improve; we get a slight drop in size, but the wind and period are still junk. We see the same story through Thursday, Friday, and right into the weekend—moderate swell heights hanging between 3 ft and 5 ft, but that period never gets over 8 seconds and the wind is always cross. The combined energy figures are in the moderate range, but it’s completely messy out there.
The only faint glimmer comes around Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September. On the Tuesday morning, the swell period jumps to a very long 11 seconds as some groundswell pushes in, with energy hitting 365. Wave height is 4 ft. This is the longest, most powerful swell of the whole window. But the wind is still cross from the east-north-east at 9 mph, creating a slight cross-chop. The forecast score for that session is still a zero, and the comment calls it poor. Wednesday morning is the only session marked as “marginal,” with a score of 1 out of 10—swell is 4 ft from the east with a 10-second period and energy at 218, but that gentle cross-shore wind still puts a ripple on it.
After that, it’s back to the same script through to the 9th of September: moderate or small swell, short period, and those relentless cross-shore winds. Nothing here is a standout. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the consistent cross-wind and moderate wave energy. If you absolutely have to get wet, the morning of the 2nd of September is the closest to rideable, but expectations should be low.
Rusty.

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.
