The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's headed our way.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions at Tea Break that runs from now all the way through to around the 24th of September. The wind is stuck in a cross-shore pattern, mostly from the east, and it's just chopping up what little swell we have. The energy is weak, mostly in the low double digits (145 or less), so don't expect much. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, after that dry spell, things get interesting. The real standout window is the morning of Friday the 25th of September. The wind swings light offshore from the ESE, and we’ve got a clean 4ft groundswell rolling in from the NNE with a very long period of 13 seconds. The energy jumps to 655 – that’s strong and will pack a punch. This is a reef break that’s consistent, exposed to the swell, and with the optimum direction from the NNE, this is the session to aim for. That long period will mean long gaps between sets, but the shape should be excellent. It’s intermediate territory, so if you’re solid, get amongst it.
The day before, Thursday the 24th of September, there’s a bit of a warm-up. The morning is marginal with a 4ft NNE swell (10 seconds) and light cross-onshore wind. The afternoon cleans up a bit with lighter cross-shore wind and a bigger, longer-period NNE swell at 3ft and 13 seconds, but the energy is already building to 560. Still, the Friday morning is the clear winner.
Through the weekend and into the following week, the swell hangs around but the wind turns cross-shore again. The Sunday the 27th of September morning has a clean 2ft NNE swell with light offshore wind, but it's smaller and the energy is lower at 207. It’s surfable but nothing special compared to that Friday morning highlight.
So, to sum it up: there’s a big blank patch until the 24th, but then the 25th of September morning is where it’s at. Mark it.

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.
