The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards. I’m Rusty, and I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. The only spot on the radar is Tea Break, a reef setup, and it’s pretty consistent, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball. The wind is cross-shore every single session, and the wave comment is a constant "poor surf conditions." Nothing is scoring above a zero, so there’s no standout here at all.

Looking at the start, Sunday the 2nd of August through to the end of the first week, we’ve got a mix of morning and afternoon windows. Swell heights hover between 3ft and 5ft, mostly from the east with short periods – 4 to 8 seconds – so it’s choppy local windswell, not any real groundswell. The combined energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 40 to 168, which keeps it feeling small and boggy. The wind is a constant cross-shore, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, and there’s a cross-chop that’s going to make it messy. Nothing here is worth getting wet for.

As we move into the second week, from Monday the 10th of August onward, it’s more of the same. Swell picks up a touch, with heights reaching 6ft to 6ft by Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, and combined energy climbs into a moderate-to-strong range (up to 303 on the 14th afternoon). That’s a bit more push, but the period is still stuck at 6 to 7 seconds – short, fat and sloppy. The cross-shore wind is still ruining any chance of a clean face, and the water temperature anomaly is about average for this time of year, so no surprise there. Tea Break is a reef, so it can handle a bit of size, but with that wind and weak short-period swell, it’s basically unsurfable for most. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing across the whole 16-day window.

It’s a long, blank run, and that’s just how it goes sometimes around here. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.

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.
