Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window for Tea Break, and honestly, it’s a total write-off for a decent surf. There’s nothing to get excited about.
The entire period from Friday, July 10th right through to Saturday, July 25th is plagued with onshore cross-shore winds out of the east and east-northeast, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That constant breeze is just mangling what little swell we’ve got. The swell is coming from the east, bumping around 3 ft to 5 ft, but with these winds, every session is tagged as “poor surf conditions.” The wave energy is weak to moderate across the board – you’re looking at combined energy figures between 87 and 285 – nothing with any punch. The period is short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, lumpy, and unshaped.
The water temp is sitting right on 82° – bang average for this time of year, no surprises there. But that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
Because of the persistent cross-shore wind and the poor quality, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout day, no clean window, and no point chasing it. A blank run like this is pretty standard for the area when the wind locks in from the east.
Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change – but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
