Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Tea Break in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, this 16-day outlook is a long, flat-feeling slog. There’s surf on the table most days, but the stars are not aligning. It’s cross-shore wind, short-period dribble, and a whole lot of bumpy, lumpy mess. The water temp is 28°C, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
First week is all poor surf. From Friday, 3 July, the swell is from the east, running 3 to 4 feet, but the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore the whole time. The wave energy starts weak at 84 and builds to 200 by Tuesday morning. Not worth getting wet. The only flicker of hope comes Thursday morning, 9 July. The wind finally shifts cross-offshore from the southeast, the swell is 6 feet, period 8 seconds, and the energy hits 450. It’s clean that morning, but still only marginal. If you’re itching to surf, that’s the moment.
Second week, from Friday, 10 July, the swell gets a bit bigger, hitting 7 to 8 feet, but the wind stays cross or gets fresh, and the period is still short at 7-8 seconds. Energy climbs into the 300s and 500s. But the wind is lumpy. The morning of Saturday, 11 July, has 6 feet and 8-second period, but cross wind. No good. The best day remains Thursday morning, 9 July. That’s your one clean window.
So, if you want waves, point your car at Tea Break for the morning of Thursday, 9 July. It’s a 6 foot east swell, with that rare cross-offshore breeze. Crowds are possible there sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea. Beyond that, it’s a long wait. The pattern is stuck, but things can always shift.
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.
