The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty again, this time in feet and Fahrenheit. Here's the lowdown for Tea Break.
Honest truth – there's nothing worth chasing in this 16-day window, from July 17 right through to August 1. Every single session is showing poor surf. The swell is coming out of the east and east-northeast, but Tea Break needs a north-northeast direction to really fire, so it's all off. Winds are cross-shore, mostly moderate to fresh, stirring up a lumpy cross-chop. No clean offshore or glassy conditions at all.
Wave heights run from about 3ft to 6ft, but with short periods of 5 to 8 seconds, the waves lack punch and shape. Combined energy levels sit between 84 and 305 – not that it matters when the wind and direction are so wrong. Water temp is a warm 83°, right on average for the season.
Tea Break is a consistent reef, so it rarely goes this flat and messy for long. Forecasts can flip pretty quickly around here, but as it stands, you're better off staying dry. No standout days – just a blank run of poor conditions. 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.
