Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's shaping up for Tea Break over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a grim picture. For this entire 16-day stretch, there isn't a single session I'd recommend paddling out for. The wave comment across every single record calls it "poor surf conditions," and the scores are all zeros, so I'm not pulling any punches. It's a total write-off.
From Wednesday the 8th of July right through to Thursday the 23rd of July, that's over two full weeks with no decent surf. The swell is on offer, mostly around 4.3ft to 6.2ft, all from the east, but the period is short, hanging between 5 and 8 seconds. That's weak, wind-swell energy, and the combined energy values (like 354 to 366 on the first day) are only in the moderate three-digit range. It's just messy. The wind is a constant problem too – it's blowing cross-shore from the east at 12 to 19 mph the whole way through. That's going to put a nasty cross-chop on it, making the reef at Tea Break an unappealing prospect.
Water temp is sitting at 82.4° with a zero anomaly, so average for the time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal.
There's no standout, no hidden gem, no day you should wait for. This is a classic case where the setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Put the board away for a fortnight.

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.
