The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
Right now, we're looking at a pretty grim picture for Tea Break. It's a consistent reef break that works best on a NNE swell, but the wind's been hammering it from the east and east-northeast throughout the whole period, and the swell is coming from the same direction, which is basically the opposite of what this spot likes. It's a recipe for poor surf conditions straight through the whole 16 days – from Wednesday the 5th of August right through to Thursday the 20th.
There's no standout day, no "go time" at all. The wind is a constant cross-shore, and for a reef break, that's just going to make it a choppy, bumpy mess. The swell does build a bit through the second week, but it's all from the wrong direction and the wind only gets stronger. On the 14th of August, we see a moderate wave energy build to a strong 406, with a 6 ft swell, but it's useless with a 22 mph cross-shore wind tearing it up. The period stays short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it's just wind-driven slop, no real power or shape.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. If you absolutely had to get wet, you might find a peak on the 14th or 15th of August with the bigger swell, but the waves will be a mess. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but it's wasted on these conditions. This setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
