The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We've got a consistent run of onshore, cross-shore wind that just won't let up, and it's making a mess of things.
The only spot in the frame is Tea Break, a consistent reef break that's exposed to the swell. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is bang on average for this time of year. But the problem is the wind. From Monday the 3rd all the way through to the end of the period, it's hammering from the east and east-northeast at 12-19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop that's just no fun. The surf height hangs around the 3 ft to 6 ft mark, but with that wind, it's all blown-out.
Now, the swell energy does build significantly in the second week. By the 15th of August, that combined energy value is up around 314 (moderate energy) and by the 16th, it's pushing 399. But it's all for nothing because the wind stays horrible. The swell period creeps up to 8 seconds, which is a little longer, suggesting a bit more groundswell, but with that cross-shore breeze, it's going to be a choppy, frustrating mess.
There is a tiny glimmer on the morning of the 18th. The wind switches to a cross-offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, and it's described as "clean." That's our only real window. The swell is 4 ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds, but the energy is moderate (186). It's better than nothing, but it's not a standout. It's just the least bad option.
So, the honest truth? If you have a kite, you might get some fun out of the consistent wind and building swell, especially on the beachier edges. But for a paddle surfer? The forecast is poor, and the conditions are not worth the effort. It's a blank run for the most part.

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.
