Alright, here’s the skinny on Tea Break.

Nothing happening right now and for the next 16 days. This reef break usually pumps, but we’re stuck with constant east cross‑shore winds and a junk swell. The swell direction is east when the break works best with north‑northeast. Combined swell energy is mostly moderate (between 88 and 478), but the wind kills it. Water temp is 83° – normal for July.

From Sunday afternoon July 5 onward, every session is a washout. Swell heights run from 3 ft up to 7 ft, with short periods of 5–8 seconds – wind‑swell, not the real deal. The wind never lets up: east cross‑shore the whole time. Even when the swell tops out (Wednesday July 8 afternoon at 7 ft with energy 415, or Friday July 10 afternoon at 7 ft with energy 478), the wind is a fresh cross‑shore with lumpy chop. That setup is better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Tea Break is normally consistent, so this stretch feels unusual. But forecasts can flip. Keep an eye on it.

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.
