The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. Looking at the whole 16 days, there’s just not a single solid window to get excited about. The swell is there, but the conditions are a mess. This is a classic case where the ocean is throwing a tantrum and there’s no point in trying to fight it.
Let’s start with Tea Break. It’s a consistent reef break and it’s getting swell all through the period, but every single window is ruined by a cross-shore wind. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Thursday the 13th of August, the wind is either a moderate or fresh breeze from the east or east-northeast. That means constant chop on the face. The swell energy will be moderate, with values mostly in the 100s or low 300s, but it doesn’t matter when the surface is that messy. The water temp is sitting at 83°F which is basically average for the time of year, so that’s not the issue.
There’s a glimmer of something different right at the end. On the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, we see a longer period swell of 11 seconds from the NNE, with the swell height dropping to 3 ft. The energy is still moderate at 311 . But the wind is still cross-shore from the east at 20 km/h. It’s a reef break, so that longer period could wrap in a little cleaner, but the wind is still going to be a problem. It’s not the standout we’re looking for.
Honestly, the entire 16 days is a washout. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with that consistent cross-shore wind and moderate swell. For us, it’s just a frustrating stretch of poor surf conditions. Sometimes the forecast can change, but right now, I’d give this one a miss.
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.
