The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is gonna be a rough stretch for Tea Break. We've got a full 16 days on the board, and it's all the same story. The swell's there, but it's ugly—cross-shore winds just about every day from the ENE or E, keeping things messy and chopped up. We're talkin' moderate to fresh breezes, so that's 9 to 19 mph of junk wind. The wave comment says it straight: poor surf conditions every single entry.
It's a consistent reef break that likes an optimum swell from the NNE, so we're way off direction with all this E/ENE windswell. Swell heights bounce between 3 ft and 6 ft, but periods are short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds—just weak, lumpy stuff. The combined swell energy's all over the place, from weak (78) to moderate (247), but none of it matters with that wind ruining the surface.
There's no standout session, no hidden gem. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for decent waves. For an exposed reef, you need the wind to play nice, and it just won't. Kite surfers might get a kick out of this cross-shore setup, but for paddle surfing, forget it. Even the water temp's about average for the time of year at 83°, so you can't even blame a cold snap—it's just poor.
Hang in there, but this is a long blank patch. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
