The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak start. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions well into the first week of September. From Sunday the 30th of August all the way through to Saturday the 6th of September, conditions are consistently poor. Wind is mostly cross-shore, the swell is weak and short-period, and the wave quality is just not there. It’s a real bummer, but it’s the reality.

The only real standout in this 16-day window shows up on Monday the 7th of September at Tea Break. It's a consistent reef break that's exposed to the NNE, and we've got a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph. The swell is coming from the east at 5 ft with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined wave energy is moderate at 469. The water temp is sitting right on 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year. This is the best session on offer, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on the updates.

After that, the surf drops back off again. Tuesday the 8th of September has a clean morning with 4 ft easterly swell, but it's small and not going to set the world on fire. The rest of the second week is a mix of poor conditions and small, weak swell with a lot of cross-shore wind. It's a pretty quiet outlook overall.

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.
