The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tea Break. It’s a reef set-up, exposed to swell from the NNE. The water’s sitting at 84°F with a normal temperature anomaly for the time of year.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a pretty flat stretch. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions starting from Monday the 14th, right through to the end of the month. The combined swell energy is weak, with the highest reading being 194 (moderate) on the Monday afternoon of the 14th, but the wind is cross and messy. There is no standout period at all.

For the first week, from Monday the 14th to Sunday the 20th, you’re looking at tiny waves between 2ft and 4ft, mostly from the east. The period is short, between 4 and 10 seconds, which means weak, choppy lines. Winds are consistently cross-shore from the east, between 9 mph and 16 mph. There’s no clean window. On Monday the 21st, there’s a brief moment of cleaner conditions with a light cross-off breeze, but the swell drops to 1.0ft. Not worth the paddle.

As we move into the second week, from the 22nd to the 29th, the story doesn’t change much. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, with periods that occasionally hit 10 seconds. The combined energy remains low, ranging from 27 to 184. The wind stays cross or cross-on. The only flicker of hope is on Tuesday the 29th afternoon, where we finally get a clean cross-off breeze and 5ft east swell at 6 seconds. The score is a 1 out of 10 – surfable but very ordinary. That’s the only window that even qualifies, and it’s barely worth it.

If the swell was bigger and the wind stronger, this beach might look more interesting for kite surfing, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait. This is just how it goes here sometimes. The forecasts can always change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
