The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with you – this look ahead for Tea Break is a tough one to write. We’ve got a 16-day window, but for the first two weeks, it’s a write-off. The wind is locked in from the east and east-northeast, blowing directly across the break, churning up a lumpy, cross-chop mess. The swell is on the small side to start, and even when it builds, the conditions are just plain ugly. We’re looking at a run of poor surf and zero scores all the way through to the 18th of August. That’s a long, dry spell.
The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re staring at the bump.
Finally, on Tuesday the 18th of August, we see a tiny flicker of hope. The morning session shows a shift in the wind to a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 12 mph, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is 5 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (260). The wave comment calls it “marginal,” but that clean, glassy surface is a massive positive. It’s the only window in the whole 16 days that looks even remotely rideable. The afternoon goes back to the cross-chop, so that morning is your only shot.
After that, it’s back into the same old pattern of cross-shore wind and poor conditions through to the 19th. Honestly, for a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer of a forecast. It’s not often you see a blank run this long, but that’s what we’ve got.
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.
