The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's heading our way for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a rough patch coming up for the foreseeable future. We're looking at a solid 16-day window where the surf just isn't playing ball. The wind is locked in from the east, blowing straight across the swell, and that's creating nothing but a bumpy, cross-choppy mess. There's some size on offer from time to time, but without that clean, offshore wind, it's just not worth paddling out for a proper session.
The only real standout to get even slightly excited about are the mornings of the 19th and 20th of August. The wind is forecast to ease back to a gentle breeze, just 9 mph, and the swell is holding around 5 ft to 6 ft from the east. The energy is moderate, with combined readings of 445 and 322. It's still a cross-shore, but the chop might be a bit less sloppy. Tea Break is a reef break, and it's consistent, but with these conditions, it's looking marginal at best. The swell direction is from the E, which isn't the ideal NNE that this spot really loves. For a surfer, this is a "check the cam and hope" kind of situation, not a "load the board and go" one.
The rest of the period is a write-off. We've got consistent cross-shore winds from the east, ranging from 12 to 22 mph, keeping the surface lumpy. The period on the swell is short, mostly between 6 and 8 seconds, which means weak, fat waves. Even when the swell bumps up to 7 ft on the 14th and 15th of August, the cross-shore wind and short period just ruin it. That's kite-surfing wind, not surfable waves.
So, bottom line: there's nothing in the near-term that's worth shouting about. The long-range promise of that lighter wind on the 19th and 20th is something, but it's a long way off and the forecast is likely to change. For now, keep the board in the shed and wait for the wind to swing around.
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.
