Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a stretch ahead for the Tea Break zone, and honestly, it’s a tough one. The next 16 days start off with a real quiet spell.
Overall Pattern
Right out of the gate, we’re looking at a long, frustrating gap. From Wednesday the 9th of September right through until the morning of Friday the 18th of September, there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is on offer, but it’s all poor quality – cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and weak, short-period swell. You’d be battling more than you’d be riding. The combined energy is mostly moderate, hitting a top of 327 on the afternoon of the 10th, but it’s all messy and blown out. Don’t bother.
The Turning Point
Things finally start to look a little more interesting on Friday the 18th of September. The wind drops, shifting to a light cross-offshore from the SE, and the water cleans up. The waves are small – around 3ft to 3ft – but the conditions are actually clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s surfable, and after a week and a half of nothing, that’s a win. The combined energy is weak, around 79 to 92.
The Highlight
The real standout, and the only one I’d call a true highlight, is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September. We get a brief window of pure glass. The wind is from the N at just 3 mph, and the report says “glassy.” That’s gold. The swell is a modest 4ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 179. It’s not a massive swell, but for a reef break like Tea Break, that clean, glassy surface will make for some fun, lined-up waves. The only catch – crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have some company. Still, this is easily the best moment of the whole outlook.
The Long View
After that Tuesday morning, it fades back into onshore slop and small, weak swell for the rest of the period. Nothing else jumps out. The long-range stuff is too uncertain, but the patterns don’t look promising.
Stay patient, wait for that glassy morning on the 22nd, and you’ll get a few.

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.
