The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Well, I'm looking at the 16-day window for Tea Break, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim stretch. There's not a single good surf option in sight. The whole period is a write-off, with every session scoring a big fat zero. The swell's there, but the conditions are just not playing ball.
We kick off on Sunday, September 6th, with some small, weak easterly swell around 3ft to 3ft, but the cross-shore wind is messing it up. The water's sitting at 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The wave energy is weak at just 73. The whole first week is the same sad story: a constant easterly breeze, mostly cross or cross-onshore, chopping up the surface. The swell height tries to push up a bit, hitting 5ft on Wednesday afternoon with a combined energy of 219, but the fresh cross-breeze and lumpy conditions make it a mess. Short period swells under 8 seconds all the way through, so no real power or shape.
After that first week, we roll straight into the second week with more of the same. The swell drops off, the energy fades, and the wind just won't quit. There's a brief moment on the mornings of September 15th and 16th where the wind goes cross-offshore and the conditions are clean, but the swell is tiny – 1ft to 4ft with barely any energy (46 to 101). It's just not enough to get excited about. The pattern holds right through to Monday, September 21st, with small, weak, and mostly choppy surf.
It's a tough one. With no good options, there's not a single standout to point you toward. The whole 16 days is a gap. You're better off leaving the board in the car. Sometimes you get a blank run like this, and all you can do is wait for the next change.
Stay patient.
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.
