The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight: the 16-day forecast for Tea Break is a tough read. The swell is coming from the east pretty much the whole time, but the wind is almost never on our side. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent, but for the first two weeks, the conditions are just poor. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Wednesday, 16th September, so we’ve got a gap of about 15 days with nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a long, dry spell.
The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
The only real standout in the whole window is Wednesday morning, 16th September. It’s glassy – that’s the big positive. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is weak (90). It’s not going to be pumping, but if you’re desperate for a slide, this is the cleanest it’s going to get. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be smooth as a lake out there. Don’t expect any power, but for a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be a nice morning. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but with surf this small, it won’t be packed.
After that, the afternoon on the 16th turns back to a cross-shore breeze and risk of thunderstorms, so that window is gone.
Bottom line: the whole 16-day run is a write-off except for that one glassy morning. If you’ve got the time, mark the calendar for the 16th. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.

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.
