The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a look at what’s coming our way, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got one break on the cards, and it’s looking pretty grim for the next 16 days. There’s a bit of swell, but the wind just won’t play ball.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, the onshore flow is relentless. We’re looking at consistent east and east-northeast winds, mostly in that cross-shore range, sometimes cranking up to a fresh 19 mph. That’s going to put a nasty chop on everything. The water temp is sitting right around 83°F, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The only spot in the frame is Tea Break. It’s a consistent reef break, best with a north-northeast swell, but we’re getting a lot of east energy. The swell is there, hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft for most of the first week, with a short, choppy period between 4 and 8 seconds. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate, topping out at 343 (moderate) on the 30th of July, but it’s just not clean. The wind is always cross-shore, creating a lumpy, cross-chop mess. Even when the wind drops to a light breeze on the morning of the 28th of July, the swell is only 3 ft with a poor 8-second period and weak energy (127). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
The afternoon of the 29th of July sees a jump in swell to 6 ft, but it’s still a messy cross-shore wind with a 6-second period. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-in session. The same story continues into August. There’s a pulse of energy on the 1st of August afternoon (373 – moderate) with 6 ft swell, but again, cross-shore winds and a short period ruin it.
The one interesting little blip is the morning of the 6th of August. The swell drops to 1 ft, but it’s from the NE with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, but it’s tiny and the energy is weak (77). It’s a tease. The rest of the forecast is more of the same: onshore winds, bumpy surf, and no quality.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that gets me excited. The setup is all wrong for a good paddle. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off waiting for the charts to change. Keep your gear ready, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
