Right, grab a coffee, I've had a proper look at the charts for your local stretch, and I gotta be straight with you: it's a grim run. There isn't a single session worth paddling out for across the whole 16-day window. The score is a flat zero for every morning and afternoon from Tuesday the 7th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July. That’s a solid 16-day gap with no surf to write home about.
The issue is a constant, stubborn cross-shore wind, mostly from the East or East-North-East, blowing 12 mph to 19 mph day after day. That’s going to put a nasty chop and bump on the face of anything that tries to roll in. Tea Break, which needs a clean, offshore wind from the South to really shine, is copping it on the nose with this setup.
Even though there's consistent swell height in the 4 ft to 7 ft range, and the combined swell energy is moderate, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. The period is short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. With those consistent onshore winds, this is looking way more like a kite session than a paddle session.
The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly? Save yourself the drive. There's nothing happening.

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.
