The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to swallow. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for quality surfing. We’ve got small, weak, short-period windswell pushing in from the east, but it’s constantly fighting a cross-shore breeze. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The first real chance to even look at the ocean is Friday July 31st. The only spot on the radar is Tea Break, a consistent intermediate reef break. It’s exposed to the swell, but the prognosis is grim. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, starting at 277 on Friday morning and peaking at 314 that afternoon. The swell is a measly 5 ft from the east, with a short period of just 8 seconds. That’s not a groundswell; it’s just wind chop. The wind is a moderate to fresh cross-shore from the east, which is going to put a nasty cross-chop on the surface. It’s poor surf conditions, plain and simple.
This pattern locks in for the foreseeable future. Saturday the 1st through Sunday the 9th of August is just more of the same. The swell bounces between 3 ft and 6 ft, period stays below 8 seconds, and the combined energy rarely breaks 250. The wind remains a stubborn cross-shore. The water temp is run-of-the-mill for this time of year. There’s no stand-out day, no window of glassy conditions. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
Heading into the second week, from Monday the 10th to Saturday the 15th of August, the story doesn’t change. The swell stays small, the period is short, and the cross-shore wind keeps things lumpy. The combined energy sits in the 130–244 range. There is no moment where the wind drops to offshore or glassy. The poor surf conditions label sticks.
So, what’s the verdict? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Tea Break is a consistent spot, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.

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.
