The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks at Tea Break.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this is gonna be a tough stretch. The next couple of weeks are lookin’ pretty bleak for a proper surf. The wind is stuck on cross-shore almost the entire time, and the wave energy is mostly weak, rarely pushin’ past a small dribble. The good news? None.

For the first week, it’s a write-off. From Thursday 3rd September right through to Monday 14th September, every session is tagged as poor surf conditions. The swell sits between 1 ft and 5 ft, mostly from the east, with periods all over the place – mostly short, choppy stuff. The wind is a constant cross breeze, keeping things ugly. The combined energy is under 100 most days, weak and messy.

There’s a slight lift in swell mid-week around Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th, with the combined energy hittin’ 201 and 306 – so moderate energy – but the swell is still under 5 ft and the wind is cross. No good. Thursday 10th afternoon sees the swell hit 6 ft, but it’s still cross and sloppy.

Now, here’s where it gets a little interesting – but don’t get too excited. On Wednesday 16th September, we finally see a change. The morning brings an offshore from the SSE at just 3 mph, with a 2 ft swell from the north, period 8 seconds. The water is clean. Combined energy is 79 – weak. The afternoon goes glassy with a 3 ft swell from the NNE, period 8 seconds, and energy climbs to 173 – moderate. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Thursday 17th September is the best of a bad bunch. Swell picks up a bit to 4 ft from the northeast, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a better shaped wave, more energy. The wind is cross-offshore and the combined energy is 268 – moderate. The water is clean. It’s still not gonna blow ya away, but it’s the closest we get to a decent wave in the whole outlook.

By Friday 18th, it’s back to marginal.

So here’s the bottom line: the standout moment across this whole 16-day window is Thursday 17th September. The swell hits 4 ft from the northeast, period 10 seconds, with clean conditions. It’s not big, it’s not epic, but it’s the best chance you’ll get for a half-decent paddle. The break is a consistent reef, so it’ll hold that swell okay. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect solitude. The optimum swell direction is NNE, and this is NE – close enough to be a decent match.

Honestly, mate, if you’re desperate for a wave, wait for that Thursday 17th. The rest of the run is a blank. But hey, for a place like this, these dry spells happen. Don’t lose hope – forecasts change.

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.
