The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I'll break it down for you.

First off, the surf is looking pretty bleak for the next week and a half. We've got a long stretch of cross-shore winds and weak, short-period windswell at Tea Break. This is a reef setup, exposed to the swell, but it's just not getting the goods. The water is a warm 85° with a tiny temperature variation, so it's right on the mark for this time of year.

The first real chance for a surf comes much later. On Monday morning, September 7th, things start to look a little more interesting. We've got a 4ft swell from the east, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind finally swings to a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. That clean condition is a major positive. The combined energy is moderate at 197, and it's enough to get a wave. This is the only real standout in the window. The forecast says the waves are "surfable," and given the quiet run before it, that's a win. Keep in mind, Tea Break can get crowded sometimes, so you might not have it all to yourself.

The following morning, Tuesday, September 8th, is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops to 3ft, the wind goes back to cross, and the quality drops off. After that, the outlook slips back into the doldrums of poor surf conditions for the rest of the forecast period. The swell sticks around the 3ft to 5ft mark, but it's all short period, jumbled windswell with cross-shore breezes that will chop it up. The combined energy values are moderate, ranging from 131 to 302, but the quality just isn't there for a good paddle.

So, the simple truth is, there's a massive gap of poor conditions from now until the 7th of September. The only real window is that Monday morning. Get on it if you can, because the forecast after that is a long, flat run of nothing special.

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.
