The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at the next 16 days for Tea Break, it's a frustrating stretch for surfers. The consistent cross-shore wind, mostly from the east, is just chopping everything up. There's never a day where the wind turns offshore or goes glassy, so the conditions are always going to be lumpy and messy. The upside is that the swell is fairly consistent, but it's not translating into quality.
We start off with a few days of weak surf. On Tuesday, August 25th, the morning brings a weak 3ft east swell with a short period of 5 seconds, and the wave energy is low at 45. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year. By the afternoon, the swell pushes up to 5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, making it even worse. Wednesday and Thursday follow the same pattern: small, short-period swell and a steady cross-wind. The wave energy does climb into the moderate range on Thursday, hitting 120 in the morning and 217 in the afternoon, but the cross-shore wind just ruins the shape.
The second week looks similar. Friday, August 28th, has a 5ft swell in the afternoon, but it's still coming from the east with a short 5-second period and a fresh cross-wind. The weekend of August 30th offers a bit more size, with 5ft swell on Saturday afternoon, but the risk of thunderstorms and a 16 mph cross-wind is a no-go. The wave energy is highest around this period, hitting 271 on Thursday, September 3rd, but the wind is still cross-shore.
The last few days of the forecast, from September 5th through the 9th, are the same story. The swell drops back down to around 3ft, the period is short, and the wind is relentless. The wave energy is weak, often under 100, and the conditions are always described as poor. Honestly, with this constant cross-shore wind and chop, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's no standout day, no window of clean waves. It's a tough call, but I'd say leave the board at home for this stretch.
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.
