Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tea Break over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough run ahead. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent surf. We’re looking at a solid block of nothing but poor surf conditions across the entire forecast. The only break we’ve got data for is Tea Break, and it’s consistently scored a zero. There are no standout options, no hidden gems, nothing to get excited about.
The pattern is grim and persistent. From Monday the 13th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 28th of July, it’s the same story: cross-shore winds, mostly from the East or ENE, blowing at 12 to 18 mph. The swell is hanging around the 3ft to 5ft range, but it’s coming from the East with a short period – mostly between 5 and 8 seconds, which is rubbish for shape. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, but with the wind on it, it’s just messy.
Let’s be straight: Tea Break is a consistent reef, but it’s an intermediate spot and with these conditions, it’s not going to be working. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for the time of year, so no worries there, but that’s the only half-decent thing I can say.
The best day on offer? There isn’t one. If I had to pick the least terrible, maybe the 24th of July morning sees the swell energy bump up, but with a 15 mph East cross-shore, it’s still going to be a lumpy, cross-choppy mess. The 25th of July afternoon has the highest energy, but again, 18 mph cross-shore wind and a 5ft swell with 8-second period is just not going to be clean.
This is a blank run. Sometimes it happens. The breaks are consistent, but the conditions are just not lining up. For a reef break like Tea Break, you need clean wind, and we’re not getting any. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but right now, I’d save the wax and find 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.
