The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Tea Break are a total flop. The water is a warm 28° right now, which is normal for the season, but that’s the only good thing going.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From now until the end of the month, the swell is coming from the east at around 3 to 5 feet, but it’s all short-period junk – 6 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak, only in the low hundreds (168 to start, peaking at 255 on the 24th). That’s just messy, unorganized windswell. And the wind is a constant cross-shore from the east or east-northeast, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. Every single forecast says “poor surf conditions.”
There’s one morning that’s barely worth a mention. On the morning of July 28th, the wind turns cross-offshore from the ESE. The swell is 5 feet from the east with an 8-second period, and the energy hits 289. The report says it’s “clean.” That’s your best shot, but it’s still weak and short-period for a reef. Don’t get your hopes up.
After that, it’s back to the same cross-shore wind and mediocre waves all the way through to August 4th. The swell stays around 4 to 5 feet with those same short, weak periods. The energy never breaks 300. There’s no power, no punch.
Honestly, this is a total blank. The constant cross-shore wind makes it look more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf break. If you’re a surfer, save your gas. The reef is a dud. For a spot that needs a proper groundswell, this is a hard miss.

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.
