The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’m looking at the only spot on offer for this whole stretch – Tea Break. And I’ve gotta be straight with you, it’s a bleak sixteen days ahead. We’re talking about a solid run of poor surf conditions with no real standouts on the horizon. The entire forecast is a write-off.
Right from the get-go, Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s a no-go. We’ve got a small 4ft easterly swell with a short, weak 8-second period, and a cross-shore breeze is messing it all up. The water temp is sitting at a normal 83°F, which is nice for a dip, but not for surfing. The combined swell energy is only moderate at 144. It’s just a lumpy, messy cross-chop with no power.
That pattern just locks in. Every morning and afternoon through the rest of July and into August is the same story – cross-shore winds, moderate to fresh breezes, and a constant cross-chop. Swell heights bobble between 2ft and 6ft, but the period is almost always short (5 to 8 seconds), and the wind never turns offshore to clean it up. The reef at Tea Break needs the right direction, and we aren’t getting it. The incoming swell is from the east and east-northeast, but the optimum direction for this break is from the north-northeast, so it’s just not working.
There’s a little bump of energy on the 29th of July, Wednesday afternoon, with a 6ft swell and a combined energy of 283 (moderate), but that 6-second period is pure junk. It’s going to be onshore-bumped, weak, and fat. Not worth a paddle.
The whole 16-day run is a blank. There’s no point highlighting one day over another because it’s all the same poor quality. Cross-shore wind and no clean swell. For an exposed reef like Tea Break, a consistent spot that *can* fire, this is just a dud period. If you’re desperate for time in the water, the conditions are so poor that the setup here looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf. But for a surf, save your energy. The forecasts will change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty out.

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.
