G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Tea Break over the next 16 days is a total write-off. There's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. From July 9th right through to July 24th, every day is marked with poor surf conditions. That's a solid 16-day gap with no recommendations at all. It's a bit of a bummer, but this kind of blank run can happen here.
The problem is the wind. It's blowing from the east and east-northeast consistently, and it's always cross-shore, never turning offshore. The strength is nearly always a moderate to fresh breeze, so the surface is just a lumpy, cross-chop mess. The swell is coming from the east, which is directly opposite the optimum direction for this reef break, so it's not wrapping in cleanly at all. The swell heights are hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, and periods are short, between 5 and 8 seconds, so it's just weak, close-range windswell with no grunt. The combined energy is weak to moderate, with the highest reading at 340 on the afternoon of July 9th, but with the wind and direction, it's just not translating into anything rideable.
The water temp is a toasty 82° with no anomaly, so it's totally average for the time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal. Every surf report says "poor surf conditions," and the scores are zero across the board. There's nothing to get excited about, not even a glimmer of a clean window. If you're desperate for a paddle, you're better off finding a lake, but for a surf, this is a total flop.
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.
