The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one, I'm not gonna lie. The outlook for our region over the next 16 days is pretty grim. The only real spot in the mix is Tea Break, a consistent reef break that's exposed to the northeast. The water temp is sitting at 84°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, so at least a swim won't be a shock.
To be honest, for the first week and a half, from the 29th of August right through to the 6th of September, there's just nothing on. The wind is stubbornly stuck in the east, blowing cross-shore, and it's making a mess of things. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 151 (on Saturday morning) and 188 (Saturday afternoon), but it's all short-period, wind-affected junk. The swell is coming from the east with periods of 6 to 10 seconds, but the wind is a constant cross-shore chop, making it poor surf. The energy does ramp up on the 31st of August with a combined energy of 882 and 1076, but at 7ft to 8ft, that's getting into the too-big-for-beginners range, and the wind is still cross-shore, so it's just a lumpy mess only for the die-hards.
There's a long gap of absolutely nothing good until we get to the second week. The only real glimmer of hope comes on the 7th of September, Monday morning. We've got a clean, gentle breeze from the east, swinging cross-offshore, and the swell is 4ft from the east with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 328 (moderate), and it's the only "expect good surf conditions" note in the entire run. That's your best bet, but it's far out so don't hold your breath. The 11th of September also has a clean morning with a cross-offshore breeze and 5ft east swell, but it's only rated as marginal, so it's a backup option.
For the rest of the run, it's more of the same: cross-shore winds, poor surf conditions, and a couple of stormy afternoons. There's a bit of a spike on the 5th of September afternoon with 5ft swell and 165 energy, but again, the wind is a cross-shore, making it poor.
Look, honestly, the only standout is that Monday the 7th of September morning. It's a long way off, but if you're desperate, that's the one to circle. Otherwise, the next two weeks are a write-off.

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.
