The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – this whole 16-day window is a write-off. There’s nothing to get excited about. The only break on the books is Tea Break, a consistent reef set-up, but the conditions are just not playing ball. Every single session is described as “poor surf conditions,” and I’ve got to call it as I see it.
The water temperature is 83°F, with a tiny anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there. But the wind? It’s cross-shore or cross-shore with a lumpy chop, from the E or ENE, blowing 9 to 22 mph. That’s a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s killing any chance of clean waves. The swell direction is mostly E, which doesn’t match the ideal NNE direction for this spot, and the period is short, between 5 and 8 seconds – that’s weak, wind-driven stuff. The combined swell energy is weak, ranging from 65 to 352, but mostly in the 100–200 range, which is just poor.
So, we’ve got no standout days, no morning glass-offs, no clean windows. The surf is just not worth paddling out for. It’s a real shame because Tea Break is consistent and usually reliable, but this stretch is a dud. From August 2nd right through to August 17th, it’s all the same story: cross-shore wind, short-period junk, and “poor surf conditions.” If you’re desperate, you might find a tiny knee-high wave, but honestly, you’d be better off finding something else to do. This is one of those times where the area’s just gone quiet, and forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
