The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be real with you – it's a tough stretch for paddle surfing. The only spot we've got any read on is Tea Break, a consistent reef break that's intermediate-friendly. The water temp is sitting at 83°F which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. From Saturday the 25th of July right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it's one long, frustrating gap. Every single session gets a "poor surf conditions" tag, and I can see why. The wind is blowing cross-shore or cross-offshore almost the whole time, and it's not light – mostly a moderate to fresh breeze, 9 to 19 mph, which is going to put a nasty chop on the surface. That combined energy figure rarely gets above moderate (138 to 389), and when it does hit 389 on Thursday the 30th of July afternoon, it's with a 7 ft swell and a fresh 19 mph cross-breeze, which just means lumpy, bumpy, and blown out. The swell direction is mainly from the east, which is the opposite of the optimum NNE direction for this break, so it's just not working.
Periods are short too, mostly 5 to 8 seconds – that's weak, wind-affected stuff. It's not going to wrap in clean. The morning of Thursday the 30th of July is the closest we get to something clean, with a cross-offshore wind and a clean wave face description, but the swell is still small and the direction is wrong. Honestly, on days like the 30th of July afternoon when you've got 7 ft of short-period, onshore-affected slop, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us.
So, plain and simple: there's nothing good to recommend. Don't bother paddling out. It's a blank run, and in this area, that's not unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, take the boards off the roof and find something else to do.
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.
