Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. We’ve got a full 16-day window staring us down, but truth be told, it's a rough stretch here. The surf is on offer, but the quality just isn’t coming together. Let’s walk through it.

The run starts from July 4th, but don’t even bother paddling out on Saturday. We’ve got 4 ft of weak, choppy E swell with a short 5-second period and a cross-shore wind tearing it up. The water’s sitting at 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but the conditions are just poor.

Sunday through the middle of the week sees a bit more push, with swell heights sitting around 4 ft to 6 ft, all from the east. Periods stay short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly stuff. The combined swell energy does build into the low-to-mid hundreds (114 to 385), but the wind is relentless – cross-shore or cross-offshore at best, but mostly just making a mess. There’s a brief window on the mornings of Monday 6th and Thursday 9th where it cleans up a little, but it’s still marginal.

For a standout, you’d have to squint to find one. The best of a bad bunch might be Monday morning, July 6th, at Tea Break. You’ve got 5 ft from the east, and the wind goes light cross-offshore, giving us clean faces. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so don’t expect any grunt, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see for a while. The combined energy is moderate at 168.

But then it’s back into the wind. From July 8th onward, it’s a slog of cross-shore breezes and lumpy, choppy surf. Even on the 19th, with 6 ft swell, the 19 mph cross-shore wind just destroys it – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle situation.

There’s no real highlight in the second week. The pattern of easterly swell and ugly cross-shore wind just keeps grinding on. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on those clean, cross-offshore mornings, but honestly, the forecast confidence is low for any quality.

Rusty, signing off.

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.

Tea Break is 7 km (4 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.
