The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's coming down the pike for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, this is a pretty flat spell for Tea Break. The forecast is littered with poor surf conditions and hardly a window worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a stretch from Friday the 4th right through to the end of the 16-day period with nothing that really qualifies as a proper session. The energy is weak to moderate, with wind staying cross or cross-off the whole time. It’s a bummer, but sometimes that’s how it goes.
The first real hint of anything half-decent doesn’t show up until Saturday the 12th. In the afternoon, we get a marginal call with a 6 ft swell from the E, period a short 6 seconds. The energy reading is 304, which is moderate. The wind swings to a cross-off from the SE at 9 mph, and the report says clean. That’s the only window where you could maybe find a bump if you’re desperate, but with that short period and the overall poor quality, it’s a real long shot. Don't expect much.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast. The morning of Thursday the 17th offers a brief moment with a 2 ft N swell and a cross-off wind, but it’s barely surfable.
Honestly, the best advice I can give for Tea Break is to save your energy and wait for the next proper swell. It’s a lean run, but forecasts change.

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.
