The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let me give you the straight-up outlook for Tea Break. It's a reef setup, consistent, and picks up swells best from the NNE, but what we've got coming in is all from the east.

Honestly, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long gap right at the start with barely anything worth paddling out for. From Sunday, the 23rd of August, right through until the end of the month, the surf is poor. Swell is small, mostly around 3ft to 5.6ft, but the period is short – between 5 and 8 seconds – so it's weak and disorganised. The wind is constantly cross from the east, howling at 12 to 19 mph, just chopping everything up. The wave energy is low to moderate at best and conditions are just plain awful for a reef like this.

There's a glimmer, though. It's not great, but it's the best we've got. On Monday, the 31st of August, things change. The swell picks up a bit, hitting 3.3ft in the morning with a much longer period of 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, giving the waves some shape and energy. The wind eases to a gentle breeze from the ENE, still cross-shore, but with only a slight chop. It's still marginal, but that morning session is the cleanest window in the whole forecast. By the afternoon, it jumps up to 7.2ft, but the period drops to 13 seconds and the wind turns cross-on, making it a choppy mess for anyone but an expert.

Tuesday, the 1st of September, holds some size at 6.6ft but the period backs off to 10 seconds. The wind is light though, which is a bonus. It's still marginal. After that, we slide back into poor conditions with small, short-period, wind-affected surf right through to the end of the outlook on the 7th of September.

It's a long, dry spell with only one real, albeit marginal, highlight. You'd be best off pointing the board at the morning of the 31st of August and hoping for the best.

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.
