Alright, Rusty here again. Gotta give it to you straight about Tea Break for the next couple weeks. Plain and simple—there’s nothing worth waxing up for. Swell comes in from the east, waist to chest high at best, but the period is short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. Wind is cross the whole time, blowing 10 to 20 mph, never turning offshore. Every session has that cross-chop, no clean corners.
The wave energy climbs into the moderate range mid-period, but with the wind direction not matching the optimum north-northeast, it’s just a mess. Water temp is 83°, pretty normal for this time of year. The reef break holds swell consistently, but the conditions are poor across the board. Starting July 4 and running through July 19, every morning and afternoon is rated poor. No standout days, no hidden gems.
If you’re itching, maybe a lighter morning on the 4th or 19th might give you a few closeouts, but it’s not surf worth chasing. This is a quiet spell for the area. Keep an eye on the forecast—it can change—but for now, I’d hang the board up and wait.
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.
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.
