The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at the surf forecast for Tea Break.
Honestly, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This 16-day outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell with no standout sessions in the cards. The wind is the main culprit, staying stubbornly cross-shore for almost the entire period, which just won't let this place clean up.
The first real chance of anything close to decent doesn't roll in until Thursday, August 6th. That morning, we might see a little window with a light offshore breeze. The swell's still small at about 4 ft from the east, but the energy is weak. It'll be clean, but it's just 'surfable but very ordinary' – nothing to write home about. After that brief moment of calm, the wind swings back cross-shore and the waves get lumpy again for the rest of the day.
Other than that, it's a pretty consistent story. We have moderate to fresh easterly winds every day churning up a cross-chop. The swell stays locked in from the east, mostly between 3 ft and 7 ft, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds. That short period means the waves won't have much shape or power, and with the constant cross-wind, it's going to be a messy, bumpy mess. The energy levels do climb on a few afternoons, but it doesn't matter when the conditions are so poor.
So, what's the call? For the next two weeks, I'd say save your energy. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions. There's just nothing here to get excited about for a surfer.
Rusty.

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.
