The Lowdown
Righto, grab a cuppa, 'cause I gotta be straight with ya—this is a tough one.
Lookin' at the whole 16-day window for Tea Break, and honestly, my heart sinks a little. The pattern is stubborn: persistent cross-shore wind, generally from the east, and a whole lot of poor surf conditions day after day. We are lookin' at a long stretch where you are better off keepin' the board in the car.
The only real flicker of hope lands on Monday the 31st of August. It's not perfect, but it's the standout by a mile. Monday morning has the wind swingin' nicely onshore from the NNE at a light 6 mph—that's a big deal here because it's the cleanest wind we'll see. The swell is a solid 8 ft, pumpin' in from the ENE with a period of 11 seconds, which is that long-period groundswell that gives the wave some real grunt. The combined energy is a strong 1164, so there's plenty of power. For an intermediate surfer, that's a proper session. Just be aware that this spot is consistently breaking but can get crowded sometimes. The water temp is 85°F, with an anomaly of just 0.9°F—so pretty average for this time of year, nothin' wild.
Be warned, though—by Monday afternoon the wind turns back to a cross-shore from the east, and the quality drops off. The rest of the run after that? Grim. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to the end of the period, it's persistent east winds, small choppy swell, and waves that are more mess than magic. You'll see some tiny pulses on the 8th and 11th of September with a slightly cleaner cross-off wind from the ESE, but the swell is tiny—around 3 ft to 4 ft—and the energy is weak (177 and 220 respectively). Not exactly worth paddlin' out for.
So, the honest word? Monday the 31st is your one shot. Get out there first thing, because after that, it's a long, flat, blown-out wait.

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.
