The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at this 16-day window for Tea Break and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The pattern is pretty much locked in: east swell, cross-shore wind, and the forecast is full of “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. The first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much relief either. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll find something, but don’t expect any quality.
The only flicker of life comes on Thursday, July 30th, in the morning. We get a 5 ft east swell rolling in with a cross-offshore breeze, which should clean things up a bit. The combined energy is moderate at 218, and the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast.” It’s a slim chance, but it’s the best on offer. The wind is a gentle 12 mph, so it’ll be the cleanest session of the whole run. But don’t get your hopes up – it’s still a reef break that’s exposed to the east, and the swell period is a short 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly.
For the rest of the period, it’s a long, punishing grind. From Saturday, July 25th right through to Sunday, August 9th, we’re looking at a solid 16 days of cross-shore wind, mostly moderate to fresh breeze (9-19 mph), and constant east swell from 3 ft to 6 ft. The combined energy values are nearly all in the moderate range (between 100 and 329), but the wind and chop just ruin the surface. The swell period is short (5-8 seconds), so the waves are weak and messy. There’s a stretch from July 25th to the 29th where the energy dips below 100 on a couple of afternoons – that’s weak, flat energy. The whole period is a “no-go” for anything resembling a good surf.
If you’re a beginner, the biggest swell hits 6 ft on July 30th afternoon and August 3rd afternoon – that’s right on the edge of being too big. For experts, there’s nothing over 8 ft, so the big stuff isn’t even on the table. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent cross-shore wind and the open beach-and-reef layout.
Hang in there, cobber. Sometimes it’s like this. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s a long, flat wait.
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.
