The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's not beat around the bush. The surf outlook for the next 16 days is a total dud. From the 2nd to the 17th of August, we've got a whole lot of nothing. A blank run this long is a real possibility for this area, and that's exactly what's on the cards.
It's not even a lack of swell, it's the wind that's killing it. A relentless easterly wind is blowing straight across the break, putting a rough cross-chop on everything. Even when there's some energy in the water, the surf quality will be terrible.
Right from the start on Sunday the 2nd, you're looking at around 6ft of weak, short-period windswell. The energy is moderate, but that 25 km/h cross-shore breeze is just going to churn it up. The water temp is a warm 83°, so at least you won't be cold while you're getting frustrated. Monday doesn't get any better, and the wind picks up even more in the afternoon. This pattern just locks in.
Later in the window, around Friday the 14th, the energy does build to its strongest point, but it's still weak, short-period swell, and the wind is still cross-shore and blowing 35 km/h. It's just more of the same choppy, sideshore junk. There's no point in even trying to pick out a standout session because there isn't one. It's all just poor.
Honestly, with that much cross-shore wind, this looks more like a kitesurfing spot than a surfing spot right now. Paddling out would just be a battle with the wind and chop for no reward. I know it’s bleak, but forecasts can change, and a spot like this usually doesn't stay this flat for long. But for now, I'd say save your energy for something else.
Keep it real,
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.
