G’day, I’m Rusty. Well, I’ve looked over this forecast for Tea Break and, honestly, it’s a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust. There’s just nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for – the first recommendation doesn’t come until the very end of the outlook, and even then, it’s a real struggle.
The pattern is consistent, but consistently poor. We’ve got easterly trade winds blowing cross-shore pretty much the whole time, which is just chopping everything up. The swell is coming from the east, with heights hanging around 5 ft to 7 ft for most of it, but the period is short – mostly 5 to 8 seconds. That makes for weak, lumpy waves with no real push. The combined wave energy is moderate, with values between 192 and 399, so there’s some water moving, but with that wind and period, it’s just messy.
From Monday, July 6th through to Monday, July 20th, it’s all “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” at best. The water temp here is 83°F with a +0.7°F anomaly, so about average for the time of year – not that it’ll help the surf quality.
There is a glimmer on Thursday, July 9th for the morning session. The wind goes cross-offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, giving us a clean window. The swell is 6 ft from the east with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 369. That’s the only time the conditions get a score of 1 out of 10. It’s still marginal, with questionable tides, but it’s the only moment where a surf is possible. If you’re desperate, you could get a look. But for everyone else, this spot is just not playing ball.
After that, it’s straight back to poor conditions through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday, July 21st. There’s a gap of over a week with no real recommendations, so don’t hold your breath. This is a classic case of trade wind chop ruining a decent swell window. Honestly, with that persistent cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions, it looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the long-range, but for now, I’d save the wax.
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.
