The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee and let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a 16-day window here, but it’s essentially a blank run. There’s just nothing to get excited about. The breaks are flat, the energy is weak, and the winds are all wrong. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing, which for this area is pretty normal when the conditions line up like this. It’s one of those times where you might wanna check the forecast again in a few days – things can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
The only spot on the radar is Tea Break, a reef setup that's usually consistent. But the whole 16 days? Every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, mostly coming in from the East at around 2 ft to 6 ft, and the period is short, between 4 and 10 seconds. That’s just windswell junk, not groundswell with any punch. The energy levels are weak to moderate at best, with the combined energy of all swells directed here reading between 35 and 314. Even the higher numbers don't mean much when the period is so short and the wind is a problem.
The wind is a real killer. It’s almost always a cross-shore from the East or ENE, with speeds from 9 mph to 19 mph. That’s a gentle to fresh breeze, but it’s enough to put a chop on the surface. There’s no clean, glassy, or offshore wind in the whole run. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that doesn't help when the waves are a mess.
Forget about the 6th of September through the 9th – it’s all small and choppy. There’s a slight bump in size around the 11th and 12th, with swell heights hitting 6 ft, but the period is still short (6 to 8 seconds) and the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-in session. By the 14th, it drops back down to knee-high slop.
The second week is no better. From the 15th of September right through to the 21st, it’s the same story: tiny swell, cross-shore winds, and poor conditions. The 20th and 21st see the energy drop right off, with swell heights barely reaching 3 ft and periods of 4 to 5 seconds. Total fluff.
So, what’s the call? There’s no standout. There’s no best day. This is a straight-up waiting period. Keep your gear waxed and your eyes on the horizon, because it’s not happening here for a while.

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.
