The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We're looking at Tea Break, a reef set-up, and honestly, the conditions are just not playing ball. The water's sitting at a normal 83° for the time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average.
Kicking off from Tuesday the 14th of July, right through to Wednesday the 29th of July, it's a long, frustrating stretch. The swell is there, sure, but it's all short-period windswell from the east, coming in at a weak 5 to 8 seconds. The energy is all over the shop, from a weak 66 up to a moderate 244 on the 18th, but it doesn't matter because the wind is a constant cross-shore, never letting up. It's a moderate to fresh breeze every single day, which is going to leave that reef top chopped up and lumpy – proper messy. For a reef break, you want it clean, and this ain't it. The height is mostly between 3 ft and 6 ft, but with that wind, it's just a bumpy, frustrating mess.
Given the persistent cross-shore wind and the poor surf quality, this spot is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. The setup is there, but the conditions are just wrong for us. There’s no standout day, no magic window. It’s a blank run of 16 days, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home and give the kites a go.
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.
