Hey folks, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles.
It’s a pretty barren outlook for the next sixteen days. The only break in the game is Tea Break, a reliable reef that’s good for intermediate surfers, but the wind and waves just aren’t playing nice. The water’s about 83°, so normal for the time of year.
Starting Saturday, July 4th, it’s small and weak – surf around 3ft from the east, with combined energy of just 65, and that cross-shore breeze from the east is chopping things up. Sunday, July 5th, the morning offers a clean window with swell at 4ft and energy of 127, but it’s short-period and weak.
From Monday, July 6th, through to Thursday, July 9th, the swell builds, reaching 6ft on Wednesday morning with energy of 318, but the wind stays cross or cross-off, and the period is still short. The Thursday morning, July 9th, is the best of a bad bunch – clean conditions, 6ft swell from the east, energy of 354, and a light cross-off wind. That’s your best chance, but it’s still only marginal. Crowds are possible.
The rest of the first week and the entire second week is a repeat: swell ranging from 4ft to 7ft, but always that easterly cross-wind ruining the surface. By Saturday, July 11th, the swell drops to 0.7ft with energy of 9 – dead flat.
From there until Sunday, July 19th, it’s small to moderate swell, but the wind never lets up. The energy stays moderate, mostly between 100 and 200, but with consistent cross-shore chop, it’s not worth getting wet.
When the swell hits 5ft or more, like on several afternoons, it’s too big for beginners. And when it pushes past 7ft, like on Thursday afternoon, July 9th, that’s only for experts.
It’s a rough stretch. Nothing’s really on. But this spot breaks consistently, so the blank run shouldn’t last forever.
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.
