The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a grim one for Tea Break. There’s a big, empty gap right at the start because there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The whole run is a battle with cross-shore winds that just won’t let up, and the swell is a mess of short-period, weak energy.
The first real sniff of anything different doesn’t come until Thursday, 17th September, in the afternoon. We finally get a shift to a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, cleaning things up. The swell is a tiny 4 ft from the East, with a poor period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 69. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is about 85°, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
Then, on Friday morning, 18th September, we get the best of a bad lot. The wind drops right out to a light 3 mph from the SE, going cross-offshore. The swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the East, period of 8 seconds, and the energy is a paltry 64. The data says it’s "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For Tea Break, given the relentless cross-shore chop we’ve had, that clean glass is a major positive. It’s a tiny, clean wave for a longboard or a foiler. Nothing for the average shortboarder.
After that, it’s back into the cross-shore wind and poor surf for the rest of the forecast. There’s a lot of days with no recommendation at all. The setup is so consistently poor with the wind that this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
