The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, this is Rusty. I’m looking at Tea Break for the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna lie to you—it’s a rough patch. For the first ten days or so, it’s all cross-shore wind and messy, bumpy surf. The wind is coming from the east or east-northeast at 12 to 19 mph, which is a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s just blowing the crap out of everything. The waves are mostly windswell, with a period of 5 to 8 seconds, so they’re short, weak, and choppy. The combined energy is mostly in the 100 to 200 range, which is weak to moderate, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. The swell direction is from the east and east-northeast, which is not the best for this reef (it wants north-northeast), so the waves are gonna be out of shape. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
From Thursday the 23rd to Saturday the 2nd of August, it’s a long, grim run. Every day is the same story: cropped-off, lumpy surf. The swell height does get up to 6 ft on the 30th and 31st, but with that period and that wind, it’s just a blown-out mess. Not for the faint of heart. Beginners should stay away from anything over 5 ft, and the 6 ft days are only for experts.
Now, there is one tiny glimmer of hope. On Sunday, the 2nd of August, the morning session shows a change. The wind drops to 6 mph from the east, swinging to a cross-offshore direction. The condition turns “clean” for a moment. It’s a 4 ft swell from the east with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 213. That’s moderate energy. The wind is light and cross-off, so the waves will have some shape. This is the only day in the whole 16-day window that’s even worth mentioning. The rest of that day and the following week is back to the same old cross-shore chop.
For the rest of the week after that, the energy drops off hard. By the 5th and 6th of August, the combined energy is in the 20 to 60 range, which is very weak, and the swell is tiny. There’s just nothing to paddle for.
So, to be straight: the first ten days are a wash. The only day that might produce a few fun ones is the morning of August 2nd. After that, the surf fades away. It’s a tough outlook, but that’s the reality. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d be finding something else to do.
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.
