The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the next 16 days for the region. Let’s cut to the chase.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The only break the data gives us is Tea Break, a consistent reef setup, but the wind just won’t play nice. We’re looking at a solid two weeks of mostly cross-shore winds, which is a real shame because there’s some moderate energy surf on the cards, but it’s all going to be chopped up and messy. For a surfer, this is a tough sell. The first week and a half is a write-off for quality waves, with the combined swell energy values hovering in the low-to-mid hundreds (e.g. 53 to 237), which is moderate, but the wind’s always cross. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The only flicker of something better comes around Tuesday, the 1st of September. On the Tuesday morning, we get a long period swell (12 seconds) pushing in from the east, with a combined energy of 308. The wind is a light cross-shore from the ENE at just 6 mph, which should leave the surface pretty clean. That morning session might just have a few lined-up ones on offer, but it’s still down as a marginal call. You’ll want your best board and some patience.
After that, it’s back to the same old story – moderate cross-shore winds spoiling otherwise okay swell. By Thursday the 3rd of September, the energy spikes to 445, but with a 12 mph cross-shore chopping it up, it’s not going to be pretty. The 4th of September has another long period swell (12 seconds) from the ENE, with energy at 528, but again, that moderate cross-shore breeze will mess with the face.
So, the standout here is the morning of the 1st of September. The light wind and long period groundswell from the east at 0.9m could make for a few clean, glassy runners at Tea Break – a rare moment of calm in an otherwise windy forecast. For the rest, you’re fighting a cross-chop. If you’re a kiter, the constant cross-breeze and moderate swell might look fun, but for a paddle surfer, it’s mostly a waiting game.
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.
