Alright, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This whole 16-day outlook for Tea Break is a washout. The swell is there, but the wind is wrecking it. Let's break it down.
The main story is a consistent, short-period windswell from the East. The wave heights are bouncing between 3ft and 6ft, but with a period of only 6 to 8 seconds, it's all mush and no power. The combined wave energy is moderate, but it's all for nothing.
The killer is the wind. It's blowing from the East and East-North-East at 12 to 19 mph, making it a cross-shore every single day. That's churning up a terrible, lumpy cross-chop. For every single session in the forecast, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions," and the rating is a flat zero. There's no exception.
The water is sitting at 82°, which is normal for the season, so you won't be cold, but you'll be frustrated.
From the 8th of July all the way to the 23rd of July, there's not a single session worth paddling out for. The one small change comes on the afternoon of the 23rd of July, when the wind swings to the Southeast and the conditions clean up. But even then, you're still looking at a 4ft, short-period swell with a cross-offshore breeze. It's less messy, but still not good.
This is a reef break that usually has waves, but the wind has just destroyed it. With this much wind and chop, it's honestly more of a kiteboarding spot than a surf spot for the next couple of weeks. Hang tight, and let's hope the models change.

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.
