Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've had a good look at the charts for Tea Break, and the outlook is pretty grim, to be honest. It's a reef setup that's normally exposed to the swell, but the conditions we've got lined up are just ugly. The water is 82°F which is about average for the time of year.
We're going to have a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday, July 8th, right through to Thursday, July 23rd, every single session is described as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. There is not a single standout moment, not a single window where the wind cleans up.
The main problem is that persistent cross-shore wind from the east, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. It's either a moderate breeze or a fresh breeze, but it's always cross, and that's going to leave a chop on the surface. We've got a constant 5ft to 6ft of short-period swell (mostly 7 or 8 seconds) coming from the east, which doesn't match the optimum NNE direction for this break. The combined wave energy sits between 111 and 369 (moderate), but it's all wasted because of the breeze.
Honestly, with that constant cross-shore wind and a bumpy sea state, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's plenty of wind and some swell, but for a surfer it's just a choppy, messy affair.
We're looking at a solid 16-day blank run with no silver lining. It's a shame, but sometimes the ocean just says no. Keep the board in the car anyway—forecasts can change, but right now, this one's 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.
