Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
Righto, grab a cuppa and let’s talk about Tea Break. This reef setup is a consistent performer, exposed to the swell, so it’s always got something on the table. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
To be brutally honest, the next week or so is a write-off. From Wednesday the 8th of July right through to the start of the third week, it’s a grim run of poor surf conditions. The wind locks in from the east, mostly moderate to fresh, and it’s cross-shore or even cross-off at best. That means the wave face is a mess – lumpy, choppy, and just not enjoyable. The swell is there, sitting around 5ft to 7ft, but it’s all short-period windswell around 6 to 8 seconds, and the combined swell energy stays in the weak-to-moderate range (between 150 and 399). The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" for pretty much every session – that’s about as blunt as it gets. Thursday morning the 9th offers a brief, fleeting glimpse of a “clean” look with a cross-off wind, and that gives a score of 1, but it’s still a marginal call, nothing worth paddling out for.
You get a slight reprieve on Sunday the 19th of July in the morning. The wind turns cross-off again, and the report flips to "clean". Swell is 5ft from the east at 8 seconds. The combined energy is 287 – moderate. It’s the one standout in this whole bleak stretch. It’s still not perfect, as the swell is short period, but for this area, that clean morning window is the best you’ll get.
After that, it’s back to mediocrity. Monday the 20th sees a drop in size to 4ft, and the energy drops off. By Tuesday the 21st, it’s down to 2ft and combined energy of just 80 – that’s weak sauce. The last few days of the forecast show swells between 2ft and 4ft, mostly short-period, with moderate cross-shore winds and energy levels staying below 150. There’s nothing to chase.
Honestly, if you’re set on getting wet, Sunday the 19th morning is your only real shot. The rest is for the blokes who just want a paddle or the kite surfers. It’s a tough run.

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.
