The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, because this one’s a bummer. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a long, flat, windy stretch. Nothing good is on the menu, especially in the first week. The only spot I can even point you to is Tea Break, a consistent reef that usually needs a NNE swell – which we are absolutely not getting.
From Thursday the 13th, it’s poor. Small, weak easterly windswell with a cross-shore wind ruining the surface. Thursday brings a tiny 1.0m to 1.4m, and the energy is weak (104 to 204). The water is about normal for the season, but you won’t be in it long.
Friday the 14th pumps up to 1.9m to 2.1m, but the wind is howling at 18 mph from the E, making it a rough, lumpy cross-shore mess (energy hits 475). No good.
Monday the 17th is your one, very sad, best chance. Swell builds to 1.8m to 1.9m with a longer 10-second period from the east, giving it some real push (energy 620-690). But the cross-wind is still there. It’s called “marginal” for a reason. It’s the most energy you’ll see, but it’s still a fight against the chop. Monday afternoon is your best shot at a disappointing session.
After that, it’s a 10-day desert. From Tuesday the 18th all the way to Friday the 28th, the swell shrinks, the wind stays bad, and the forecast is just “poor.” The energy barely hits 300, and often dips below 100. A kiteboarder might get a kick out of the consistent cross-wind and waist-high slop, but for a surfer? It’s a long, blank stretch.
Bottom line: nothing to crow about. A single marginal window on Monday the 17th, then a whole lot of nothing. It’s a quiet spell, but it won’t last forever. For now, save the wax.

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.
