The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but it’s a barren run for quality waves. The only spot in the mix is Coffee Break, but it’s a no-go for the entire stretch. The conditions are just not cooperating.
Looking at the whole period, from Saturday morning, July 25th, right through to Sunday afternoon, August 9th, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two weeks of frustration. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the east or east-northeast at 9 to 19 mph, keeping everything cross-shore and choppy. The swell is coming from the east, which is the opposite of what this spot wants – it needs a north-northeast swell to really work.
The wave energy is all over the place, from weak readings of 46 (combined energy) up to moderate energy like 398, but it doesn’t matter because the wind just ruins it. For a reef break like Coffee Break, you need it clean, and we’re not getting that.
There are a few mornings, like Thursday, July 30th, where the wind goes cross-offshore, which is a hint of hope, but the report still calls it poor. The swell is around 4 ft to 5 ft east at 7 seconds, but the period is too short (under 8 seconds) for any real power or shape. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F with no anomaly, so it’s pretty average for the time of year.
Honestly, there’s nothing to chase here. It’s a total blank run. We’ll have to wait for the forecasts to change. When the wind shifts and we get some proper north-northeast groundswell, this place will fire, but for now, keep the board in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Coffee Break Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coffee Break provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coffee Break can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coffee 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 (Coffee 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 Coffee 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.
Coffee Break is 1 km (1 miles) from Puerto Plata. If you plan a holiday in Amber Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
