The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for your zone.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window, and the word on the street is "poor surf conditions" for every single session. The whole period is a write-off for a decent paddle. There is nothing that qualifies as a standout; the best option is simply not paddling out.
The first sign of life is weak, but it’s not good. Starting Sunday, July 26th, Tea Break is seeing a 4ft easterly swell with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the east at 12 mph, which is ruining any chance of a clean face. The energy is moderate at best (142), and the water is a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s a no-go.
This grim pattern just locks in. We’ve got a solid 16-day gap of nothing but cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell. The swell sticks mostly between 3ft and 6ft, and the period rarely gets above 8 seconds, so there’s no grunt or shape. The wind is a constant problem – mostly a moderate to fresh breeze from the east, keeping things lumpy and crossed up. It’s not surfable.
If you’re a kiter, the setup might look interesting, especially on days like Thursday, July 30th, when the swell hits 7ft and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore. But for a surfer? There’s nothing here. The combined energy jumps around, but it’s never paired with the right wind. A couple of days, like Thursday morning, July 30th, show a "clean" wind state, but the swell is still cross-shore and weak.
Look, the forecast can change, but for now, this is a blank run. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Leave the boards in the car and wait for the next system.
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.
