Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Tea Break. I’ll be straight with you – for a spot that's usually consistent, this stretch is looking like a long, frustrating run of poor conditions. It's a real bummer.

We're kicking off on Saturday, July 11th, and right through the whole 16-day window, every single session is flagged as poor. That’s a solid two weeks without a single decent recommendation. The swell is hanging around from the east, mostly around 4ft to 5ft, with period all over the place from a short 5 seconds to a marginally better 8 seconds. The real killer here is the wind – it's a constant cross-shore from the east or east-northeast, blowing at 9 to 19 mph. That’s just chopping it all up, leaving a lumpy cross-chop on the face. For an exposed reef like Tea Break, that's a recipe for frustration.

The combined wave energy is mostly in the low to mid 100s and 200s range (like 153 or 247), which is moderate, but with that wind, it doesn't matter. The water's a warm 83°, which is pretty average for the time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it. There’s no standout period, no standout day. The closest we get to a small sigh of relief is the morning of Friday, July 24th, where the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph breeze from the east-northeast, but it’s still cross-shore and the surf is only 4ft with poor quality. Honestly, with that constant chop and the fact it's a reef set-up, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the foreseeable future.

Stick with it, though – this spot is consistent, and it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change.

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.
